. Lightweight - approx. 170gm2. Midweight - approx. 250gm2.
Heavyweight - approx. 400gm2Foundation / Base LayerA close fitting layer that provides Insulationand wicks away perspiration from the skin to maintaincomfort.Thelayer next to the skin, this should be soft, comfortableand able to wick away perspiration quickly so leavingyou feeling dry in spite of your exertions in the cold.Damp clothing in the cold can reduce the insulationsignificantly, so it is important to get sweat awayfrom your skin and away from your clothes - breathabilityis of the utmost importance. To function most efficientlythe foundation layer should be close fitting to thebody.For the coldest climates, long underwear is a must.Things have come on an awful long way since the stringvest (invented for the British Graham Land Expeditionto Antarctica in 1934-1937). Modern foundation layergarments are generally made of synthetic material. Mid Insulation Layer/s- A versatile layer that provides insulation with theability to easily remove or put on the layer.
Buttons,zips and the like allow for ventilation during exertionor the ability to quickly close everything up when theweather worsens.This is the most variable layer and can be addedto as required depending on how cold the conditionsare. More than one lightweight layer of shirt/s,sweater or jacket allow for flexibility by adding orremoving according to weather and activity and is warmerthan one thick heavy layer for insulation too as extraair gets trapped between the layers as well as withinthem (though less convenient).Traditionally woolen sweaters and natural fiber pantswere worn. These days, these may still be used or theymay be supplemented or substituted by modern materialssuch as polypropylene fleece or lightweight down garments.This layer should provide insulation and also the passageand release of perspiration. Zips, collars, draw cordsand the like allow for increased ventilation duringexertion or for all openings to be pulled closed whileat rest and/or in very cold conditions.InsulatingLayers for the Upper BodyWool mix or synthetic shirt, woolensweater, fleece or down sweater and /or jacket.

Adjustabilityis important here, zips, buttons etc. At least one ofthese layers should be long at the back to avoid exposureof flesh during exertion. The insulating layer can becombined with the wind-proof or water-proof outer layeror could be separate. Wind chill- the commonest reason that I see people beingcold in cold conditions is that they don't take enoughconsideration of the effects of the wind. Ensuringthat the outer layer is made of properly windproof materialrather than something that invites the wind in for agood blow around can make all the difference and canreduce the amount of clothing that you need overall.At warmer temperatures, the wind makes little difference.As the temperature falls the wind begins tohave a disproportionate effect.
The table showsthe effect that the wind speed has on apparent temperature,the numbers in the blue section are the equivalent reductionin temperature at that point.The colder it gets, thegreater the cooling effect of the wind, even if it'sno stronger. Wind chillreductionin degrees FAmbient Temperature F+30+20+100-10-20Windspeedmph842With a wind speed of 10mph at +30F,the wind effect is to cool by another9degrees to +21, by the time it's -20F, the same windhas a 21degree effect to -41.The Outer or Shell Layer- This layer provides direct weather protection, itmust be windproof and maybe waterproof depending on the temperature it will usedat. Sometimes literally a 'shell' or with additionalinsulation built in.Canada Goose ExpeditionParka, as used at the South Pole Outer/ shell layer, this needs to be windproof and may bewaterproof.
It could be simply a 'shell' i.e.no additional insulation or it may have insulation builtin. InsulatedPantsyou need to be insulatedfrom top to toe to stay properly warmProtect the Extremities withAccessoriesHead, hands, fingers, feet and toes, not forgettingankles, wrists and neck.Theextremities can get very cold very quickly.Fingers and toes have a high surface area compared totheir volume - this means they lose heat easily andgenerate and retain heat poorly. Particular attentionshould be paid to keeping them warm. The head can lose up to 20% of the body's heat,in cold weather, the quickest and simplest thing thatcan be done to warm up is to put on a hat, particularlyconvenient and useful when taking a rest break aftersome exertion.In extremis for the sake of survival,if the body is losing so much heat that it may be indanger, blood flow to those parts losing the most heatand that are 'expendable' may be shut down to a trickle.Needless to say, this will not happen to your wholehead, but may affect ears, nose or cheeks. This couldresult in frostnip, frostbite and ultimately the lossof that body part, fingers and toes are in the mostdanger.HandsIn very cold conditions 2 (or even 3) pairs of glovesor mittens according to the conditions and activity.The layer principle can also apply to the hands. A lightfirst layer, then an insulating layer and/or a weatherproofouter layer depending on use. Usually starting withlightweight gloves in case you have to do somethingfiddly, thin gloves are easier than mittens and infinitelypreferable to bare fingers and then one or two pairsof mittens (two if the outer pair is usually just a'shell' layer).
The outer pair should be wind proofwhile water-resistance is always very useful when inand around small boats.Ski-type gloves are goodas they are warm and water resistant with it, they areusually adequate for polar coastal regions in the summer.A thin pair of glove liners as well as a warmer pairmeans that you'll be able to take photographs withouttaking them off. Fingerless gloves or ones with a flapso that you can push fingers through without takingthem off are hopeless in my experience, don't botherunless you've used them before and know that you likethem.In extreme cold weather mittens are muchwarmer than gloves, though by the time youhave a couple of bulky pairs on to make your fingerslovely and toasty, your dexterity falls dramatically,so it depends on what you're doing. Skiing or skidooingfor instance and mittens will be fine, if you are takingphotographs you'll find things more difficult.Sensor gloves: Gloves that allowyou to use touch screen devices without needing to takethe glove off.
HeadWhen your feet are cold, cover your head.' -Inuit sayingYoucan lose about 20% of your body heat through your head,the quickest way of warming up your whole body is toput on a hat. Having an extra hat inyour pocket is always a good idea in cold conditionsso that you can put it on when you stop walking/climbing/skiingto maintain your temperature when your exertions havereduced.
In cold conditions you will have an outer shelllayer that has a hood, whether it is insulated or not,your hat/s add flexibility so you have a variety ofinsulation levels according to your activity level,the temperature and wind chill.Yourhat should cover your ears which can very quickly becomepainfully cold in Antarctica's biting wind. This canbe a beanie type hat that you can pull down, or it canbe one with ear-flaps that can be pulled or rolled downwhen needed.
When fully dressed for extreme cold, thereshould be no cold-spots, there should be no way youcan move around (normally) and expose flesh or justa single layer at the wrists, neck or midriff.The outer layer should be just that, the outer layerat ALL times, don't try to use an inner jacket/layeras the outside one, you'll be far too cold by the timeyou realise it's not working very well. With goggleson and a good hood drawn about the face and a balaclava,it is possible to have no exposed flesh at all. Antarctic Kit-clothing for activity in AntarcticaAlso important is to be able to vary the clothing easily,draw-cords and 'pit-zips' (zips in the armpit of the shell layer)allow for ventilation when loosened / opened or insulation whenpulled close, hoods, balaclavas and hats can be added or removedaccording to changing weather and activity.Generally Antarctic gear appears rather too big whenseen in isolation. Shirt / jacket / sweater 'tails'are long, boots are chunky, mittens are long and hoods are large.Over pants in particular may seem large as they are designedto be put on when outdoors if the weather gets particularlybad. In such conditions, you can't sit down and calmly takeyour boots off first. The outer layers quickly go over everythingunderneath and then zip / draw / tie, closer to the body tokeep the heat in.An AntarcticScenario - layering for versatilityThis is me in Antarctica on a relatively mild and calm latewinters day at about -15C (+5F).
The sun and lack of wind meantit felt unusually warm for a short while, with the potentialfor the wind to get up and temperature to go down especiallywhen the sun started to set early in the afternoon. This isa realistic use of cold weather gear, in the worst weather itis dangerous to go far outside, so people generally stay onbase.We went out on a trip to some icebergs frozen into the sea-ice.This entailed a 3 mile very rugged overland hike toget to the edge of the sea and then more hard work over a coupleof miles of broken flat sea-ice with a substantial snow covering.This was a day of varied temperatures, changing wind speed,and different activity levels, hard uphill walking and theneasier on the flat. There was always the possibility that somehardcore Antarctic weather could arrive in a pretty short timethat we needed to be prepared for. The clothing had to be versatilefor changing conditions and up to the job of fending off theworst the weather might bring. Received by emailI found this site by googling 'extreme cold weatherclothing' because I am sick of being stuck in the housefor three months every year when the temp drops too lowfor me here.
I live in Ohio and it drops to twenties andbelow and often with winds and I get chilled to the bonewhen I try to wait on public bussing even just for ten minutes.I bought and wear expedition weight thermal long johnstop and bottoms, jeans, wool socks over polyester socks,cotton polyester shirt, two fleece sweaters, a 550 filldown classic Alaskan parka with a fleece gator and thickgloves.AND I'M STILL COLD!!!!! My arms are the coldestfollowed by my torso and then my legs.I can't evenstand being outside for ten minutes. After ten minutes Iam chilled to the bone and start to ache.after twentyto thirty I start to shiver. Wicking sweat away?? Renegade ops trainer.
