Staying warm during cold-climate getaways
Even in Antarctica, you’ll stay comfortable with this gear.
Planning a trip to Antarctica, northern Scandinavia, or anywhere that promises frigid temperatures? If you dress in layers and pack the right gear, you can remain warm and comfortable throughout your visit.
Start with a jacket or coat that’s rated for the weather you anticipate. Those rated “warm” by L.L.Bean, for example, will keep you that way when the temperature is as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit; a “warmer” rating is suitable for 35 to -15 degrees; and “warmest” will do the trick for 15 to -50 degrees.
Other worthwhile accessories include heated lumbar belts (TheBodyFurnace.com, Brookstone, L.L.Bean, TheWarmingStore.com), heated insoles for your feet (Amazon.com, L.L.Bean, Walmart), and face masks (Sears, Amazon.com).
