We’re the experts on winter clothing and comfort. You’ll learn a lot on your trip about how to enjoy the snow season. The key to winter comfort is layering with the 3 "w’s": a "wicking" layer against your skin to keep you dry, a "warmth" layer for insulation, and an outer "wind" layer for the elements.
