Winter Multi-Day Equipment List
Be prepared to be out moving around in cold temperatures. Wear clothing made out of synthetic materials or natural products such as wool or down. Cotton products are not acceptable. Clothing should be able to layer without encumbering your movement. If choosing down it must be kept dry.
