    Probably the best possible hat to get for hiking is a boonie hat. It protects your neck and ears, plus it's lighter and folds into a way smaller space than a baseball cap. My boonie can also fit a wool beanie underneath it, for when I need both warmth and protection from the sun.

      You should only be sweating if you are in a warm environment and/or exerting yourself. Is the sweat from when you wake up? Perhaps you just keep your house/room a bit too warm when you sleep. Generally, people should only be sweating if they are too warm. You work, you get warmer, and remove layers to cool off. You get chilly, you add layers back. The key is to never get to the point where you are actually hot or cold. This will prevent sweat, and ensure your body temp doesn’t dip too low where it can’t recover on its own.

    Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?

    The main goal in the winter is not to overheat and prevent sweating. It all depends on the level of effort and your heating issues. Also, the extremeties should never be strangulated, to allow blood circulation and heat control.

      Don't overdress at the beginning of the hike. Give yourself time to heat yourself. Although the natural tendency is to be comfortable if it is cold, you should overcome it. Wear several layers, so you can adjust the level of insulation according to the level of effort and temperature. I usually climb in t-shirt in the winter with the backpack far from my back (I tighten the waist strap)

    I usually go with wind suits and a base layer and mid layer. My base layer is usually a thermal shirt with buttons on the collar and my mid layer is a full zip jacket and the rain jacket is full zip also. I like to be able to unzip to let heat escape my torso without having to take anything off and thermal bottoms and wool socks on top of that I usually go with a neoprene track suit or an insulated full zip hoodie and sweatpants rain pants and rain jacket and a fleece balaclava and stocking cap. This is usually all that I need where I live. It is warm but still lightweight. I can still feel the cold but it is tolerable enough that I can stay outside for a long time. I usually choose black clothing for my base and mid layers also because black retains heat.

    5 layers bro? really? I don't do mountaineering or overnight expeditions or anything that hardcore but I do do a lot of snowshoeing in New England where we have very cold and snowy winters and I never use five layers. I pretty much always do three. A medium weight poly/wool blend skin tight base layer for moisture wicking, a heavy fleece jacket or pullover for insulation and then a hardshell for wind/snow protection. If it's not snowing or very windy I don't use the shell. On my lower body I use a skin tight wool/poly blend base layer and a pair of snow/ski pants that combine insulation and weather protection. it seems like all the layers you wear would inhibit mobility. One thing you didn't mention that I am a big fan of is hand/foot warmers. I love them. Also Patagonia, Arcteryx and Mountain Hardwear make some great gear but in my opinion the best value in quality outdoor clothing gear is Outdoor Research. They are my go to company.

      Doubling your socks is literally one of the main recommendations to help prevent blisters. There is even a sock company that sells double layer socks specifically for the purpose of preventing blisters. Because you end up with fabric rubbing against fabric instead of it rubbing against your skin.

    What I find is that I don't need all the layers on my arms. Firstly they don't go cold like my torso and secondly I find it nearly impossible to move my arms. So I'd be looking at 2nd layers or fleeces without sleeves.

    Took notes for myself. Moving to Saskachewan early next year. This helped me a lot to prepare. Thanks Richard. Layering allows you to undress and redress as needed. Work from your lightest layer to your heaviest. Sequence is mentioned below: 1. Base layer - Icebreaker 175 everyday crew - merino wool / synthetic blend - stay away from cotton. 2. Midweight sweater / fleece - Arcteryx Delta LT Hoody 3. Lightweight synthetic jacket - Arcteryx Atom Sl Hoody OR maybe a vest - L.L Bean Microfleece Vest. 4. Heaviest Insulated layer (Winter Coat / Puffy Jacket / Parka/ski jacket) - Arcteryx Cerium LT Hoody. 5. Always end with a Shell Jacket - This could be a soft shell, a windbreaker or a rain coat. It should be wind & water proof. It also retains heat - Arcteryx Beta AR. 6. If your Insulated layer (winter jacket/parka/ski jackets) already has a shell jacket then you don't need to add a separate shell on top of it, but if it doesn't then you need it. Don't forget your extremities (legs, feet, hands, head, neck) 1. Legs Base Layer - Icebreaker 200 Oasis Legging (merino wool). 2. Athletic Pants or Hiking Pants - Mountain Hardware Chockstone Pant. 3. Waterproof Pants or Snow Pants or Ski Pants - Marmot PreCip Pants. 4. If you're wearing a snow pant then you'd be fine with just a base layer. Goal is to keep you warm but not impede your mobility. 5. For feet start with a thin ankle sock or no show sock - Smartwool Microlight Socks. 6. Heavyweight Merino Hiking Socks - Smartwool Medium weight Hike Socks. 7. Insulated Snow Shoes if it's super cold and snow outside (Merrell Thermo Chill WP Boots) if it's not then waterproof hiking boots (Danner Mountain 600). 8. For Hands a Thin Merino Wool Glove (Smartwool Liner Glove). 9. Heavy Ski Gloves - Outdoor Research Adrenaline Glove. Stack and Overlap Items e.g. Tuck your upper base layer into your lower base layer, tuck your leggings into your socks and pull your sleeves over the cuff of your gloves. The idea is that no cold air should come in. Cover your neck 1. Buff / Neck Gator / Scarf
