To Do/Not To Do of winter hiking
Cotton clothes are hard to dry in a short time. If you dare to wear cotton clothes in the winter it is not uncommon to get sick due to the dampness and coldness due to the slow drying. Therefore, you should choose synthetic and wool layer styles which are more suitable for this weather.
Due to the light conditions in winter and the change of weather like the cold wind you should have suitable preparation. For safety, sunscreen, hats, and goggles are necessary extra gear for winter hiking.
To prevent frostbite, use waterproof shell mittens or shell gloves (fleece gloves-lightweight or midweight), socks (synthetic/wool), waterproof boots, neck gaiter, headband, winter hat, face mask and extras. Make sure to carry extras of each gear in cases of emergency.
Clothes that are too tight make you more prone to getting frostbite due to poor air circulation. Therefore, all your clothing and gear should fit your body size.
Be sure to carry a headlamp and batteries for your night hike and your electronics. For winter hikes, you should choose a lithium battery instead of other batteries due to its suitability for cold temperatures.
