Winter outdoor sports can speed up blood circulation, increase the supply of oxygen to the brain, eliminate fatigue caused by long-term brain work, enhance memory, improve learning efficiency, and the ability to resist cold will be 8-10 times stronger than the average person. So, the question is, what should you prepare for outdoor sports in winter? Take a look at Xiaoai’s winter outdoor gear list.
I. Down jacket
Down jacket is the most important thermal equipment for outdoor sports in the northern winter. The down jacket is light and does not take up space. It can be bundled with compression straps for easy packing.
Second, the jackets
The jackets are not only windproof but also waterproof. In the northern winter, the temperature is not terrible, just afraid of strong wind, wearing a jacket can withstand the wind and cold. Crossing through the snowy countryside, you don’t have to worry about getting wet in the snow when you wear jackets and trousers, and you don’t have to worry about being broken by branches when crossing.
Three. Gloves
Xiaoai recommends waterproof gloves with air holes and wrist straps for you. Although they are expensive, they are worth the money. When taking off gloves, it is much more convenient to have a wrist strap, which can be hung directly on the wrist without affecting any operation.
Fourth, hat
A person’s physical exertion and heat dissipation are proportional, and more than 60% of the heat is dissipated through the head. When exercising outdoors in winter, the main function of wearing a hat is to prevent the heat from dissipating too quickly and to avoid catching a cold.
Five, face mask
Wearing a face mask in ice and snow can protect your facial skin from cold air on the one hand, and filter and humidify the air you inhale on the other hand. The high-quality mask can keep the face, neck and ears comfortable and warm in the low temperature environment of minus 20 degrees.
Six, snow cover
A snow cover is a must-have equipment for crossing in the leg-deep snow.
Seven, outdoor shoes
There are many styles of snow boots on the market, but snow boots are not as comfortable to wear as hiking boots, and their thermal performance is not better than hiking boots. So when crossing the snow, it is enough to have hiking boots and snow covers.
Eight, trekking poles
It is best to use a double pole, which can also be used as a pathfinder pole in the snow.
Nine, Sunglasses
If you are traveling through snowy mountains, you must prepare a pair of special sunglasses to protect your eyes and prevent snow blindness.
10. Chocolate
You should prepare more high-calorie foods such as chocolate on the way to supplement the calories.
Eleven. Warm water bottle
It’s really refreshing to drink hot on the way through winter. It is better not to bring a water bag, it is easy to freeze.
Twelve, anti-freeze and windproof oil
The wind in northern winter is very cold. If you don’t apply anti-freeze and windproof oil, your face may not be what it was when you came back. Face up.
Thirteen, down sleeping bags
Comparatively speaking, down sleeping bags have strong thermal insulation properties and can withstand the severe cold outdoors in winter.
