Long John

Long john underwear or thermal underwear is the first layer attached to the skin or after underwear. These garments are made of cotton or sometimes mixed with polyester or wool material that can withstand the temperature of the body to keep warm. The shape is rather tight long-sleeved shirts and long pants such tight leggings.

There is also a one piece long john, connecting the top and bottom like baby clothes, with a row of buttons on the front. When the temperature is not too cold, wearing long john is you do not need a jacket / sweater thick so it is more practical in the pack.

Jacket

If long john is less warm, prepare a jacket. Should not the origin of a thick jacket, but look at the ingredients. Indeed some of the jackets look thick but not very warm. Usually this kind of inner jacket contains goose (swan feather). You can check the ingredients of the label, how much percentage of goose down in the jacket.

Winter jacket looks great because sometimes sewn "bubble", but again look at the ingredients on the label. When made ​​of dacron, less warm than goose down. Another option is a leather jacket, flannel, or wool thick, but this is for a dozen degrees Celsius temperature only. The length of the jacket is also diverse, there is about the size of the waist / hip, there is a knee-length (overcoat). Depends on you, which is more convenient to use.

Sweater/pullover

In places with low temperatures, often needed several layers of clothing. The jacket is usually used when out of the room, while the time in the room, the second layer is a sweater dress or pullover.

Jackets and sweaters can also be used simultaneously when the temperature is minus. Long-sleeved sweater is generally made ​​of wool, with or without a turtle neck. Some knit sweater is made with a technique so thick not even suitable for windy areas because they have small holes on the sidelines of knitting. When the wool is too thick, made ​​from select fleece.

Clothing Bottoms

Should avoid use of jeans in the cold because jeans material may not create a warm, even weight due to wet snow and dry hard. Would be better off wearing pants made ​​of thick cloth or wool. For shoes, boots are the best choice.

If not, wear closed shoes and wear socks or stockings. Because the snow was slick, my choice is hiking boots as part of its base so it does not easily slip serrated. There are also socks made ​​from thick material with special stitching models that make your feet feel warm and comfortable, for example socks for trekking.

Accessories

Some of the accessories that you should put the scarves, hats, earmuffs, and gloves. Scarf scarf style here is not a long piece of cloth or knitted was a trend in Indonesia, but which serves to warm scarf.

Usually made of wool are fairly thick and long enough for several layers wrapped around the neck. Hat it serves to warm the head, but it's worth choosing a wool hat that can also be used to warm the ear because the ear is the part of the body that are particularly vulnerable to the cold.

Another alternative is to cover the ear which is shaped like ear phones which cover the ears are made from wool or synthetic materials. For gloves, choose a really sticky on the fingers so as not to complicate the movement. Choose a material made of leather, wool, or fleece.
