- What to kit wear for a days walk or hike in the mountains or hills. In this short video, mountaineering Instructor and Buxton Mountain Rescue team and mountain rescue UK member Rob will share some tips on what winter clothes and kit to wear .
Many members of Mountain Rescue UK are regular walkers and climbers. Winter can bring many challenges. Shorter days and SNOW are some of these challenges and in winter we have to be even more prepared than that in summer, but don't let this put you off.
Hiking in the hills and mountains in winter can be a great place to be and in this short 15-min video, team member and Mountaineering Instructor Rob, will take you through what he wears and what the various options are.

Good educational movie! Using layers is the best way to stay warm and safe on a hike. In Norway it is also strongly recommended by the Norwegian Trekking Association to use the layering system. So I hope people will watch and follow your good advice! Two comments from my own experiences in Norway. If possible the outer layer should be in high visibility colors (red, orange etc). Makes it a lot easier to be seen - and usually you want to be found by the rescue team:) Secondly - In Norway we have something called mesh underwear that we often use as the first layer. It is usually made of wool, but can be synthetic as well. It is shirts or long johns with a mesh design - it looks weird, but the design gives good flexibility both for wicking away moisture or keeping warm. It used by the Army, Police, rescue teams and hikers. If you ever come across it you should try it and compare it with your normal base layer - chances are high that you will continue to use it. Ok, enough publicity for Norwegian clothing brands:)
Hi Arctic, thanks for the comments and the advice. We are always on the lookout for good kit and new innovations. We will have a look at the base layer you suggest.
@@buxtonmountainrescue1102 The brands you should check out if you are interested are Brynje and Aclima. Both have webpages in English with information about their mesh/net underwear.
@@ArcticNatureExperiences Thanks.
Great recommendation on the mesh base layer. I personally use Superthermo from Brynje, which is a synthetic mesh base layer. Keeps you dry, and regulates the temperature when out and about. Did you know that Tensing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary were wearing mesh base layer from a Brynje when they climbed Everest. Just saying 🏔😉🇳🇴
@@p.richter9592 Thanks for your comment. I use Superthermo from Brynje when I run in the cold season (8 months of the year:) and the quality is very good. I have one shirt I have used for running for 15 years and it is still in good condition even after having being washed 100s of times. But for hikes in the wild I use the wool products from Aclima as they work better for a prolonged period of time. And I have heard the story about Brynje being used on Everest; I think that was a good choice:)
As Les Stroud says: “you sweat, you die”! I’m a big fan of Gore Tex trousers that have ventilation zippers on the sides.
Love the Buxton MRT videos, Rob in particular makes clear , precise and simple videos , ideal for those who are unsure...keep them coming Rob.
Good video, thanks you.
Thank you rob
Thank you for providing a very useful video. The gaiter/Waterproof trousers tip is very useful.
Thanks Hass
I see you've got your Mountain Equipment suite of armor on. 😄 great blog thanks for sharing.
Another great video guys. Thanks.
Thanks
Another excellent video!
Thanks
Great informative video
Brilliant advice
Thanks
Great video guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a great and informative video. Really appreciate you guys putting it out there. Subbed 👍🏻👍🏻🇳🇴
Thanks
Another good video. Couple of points though. I think you're using too many layers, I use just three proper layers, easier to manage. Gaiters are always a must anytime on the mountains! Also why would anyone wear gaiters over waterproof trousers!?! Anyway great as always to watch such videos, it helps a lot.
Great video BMR 👍
Thanks Thomas
Gaiters under the trousers...looks cooler too, lol
9:40 I like my gaitors over my hardshell because I'd rather lose 40€ gaitors than a 250€ hardshell to my crampons... 😥
That’s definitely a consideration.
@@p.richter9592 considering I just Tore my gaiters the other day this sentiment got even stronger in me. Also, if you really need hardshell pants you're usually either iceclimbing in too warm a weather for ice climbing or you just shouldn't even be on the mountain at that moment.
@@julians.2597 Well, you may also be on a glacier and it starts raining. The weather seems to be more unstable nowadays, so you just never know what the weather is going to be. It’s good to be ready whatever the weather. That said, it definitely sucks to get your pants shredded by your crampons.
Hi.
Great video.
Hope you dont mind me asking.. which mountain equipment waterproof jacket is that your wearing please?
Thank you.
Hi thanks for the comments. The Jacket is a Mountain Equipment Changabang.
www.mountain-equipment.co.uk/products/changabang-jacket
I’d boil to death wearing all that kit. I keep it to 3 layers.
Love the video! Really usefull. I want one of those buffs. Is there an option to pay with paypal? I dont have a creditcard or something
Hi @theflobro, yes if you follow the link in the description to purchase the neckscarf, the payment is made via PayPal. Hope that helps?
@@buxtonmountainrescue1102 yes it helped. I ordered one :)
@@theflobro96 brilliant, thank you. Enjoy and tag us on insta, FB or Twitter when you’ve received it. Enjoy.
Hi
I asked about Buffalo in your rucksack video. Forgive me for repeating the question here.
Can you advise about Buffalo eg the special 6. Could it reduce the number of layers required? It allows one to remain warm even if damp???
I used buffalo for years when in the Army. In my experience they were very useful when stopped/standing around etc but not when moving at pace, uphill, carrying load etc. Also quite heavy and bulky to carry as a ‘stop top’ or emergency layer when compared with some of the modern synthetic options.
With Paramo waterproof jackets in winter would you wear fewer layers? Secondly what about wearing a windproof rather than a hard shell when it is not raining?
Hi JW, thanks for the comments. Yes the ultimate clothing system still eludes us. We are constantly experimenting and working with manufacturers to improve our clothing systems. I'm testing several new items right now. The whole clothing Industry is going through massive change with new fabrics and manufacturers innovating. More videos on this subject will follow soon!
I wonder to what temperature this person would be comfortable wearing this setup. Would it be ideal until -37 C or so? with long johns added
Hi Wassenhoven, a good question. I have personally used this set up down to -40 C whilst climbing Denali in Alaska. It was cold but we were working hard and had good sleeping bags and tents for the night.
@@buxtonmountainrescue1102 Thank you for the feedback, take care!
What about paramo clothing,is it any good?
Yes, the team's summer windproof jacket is made by Paramo.
Sponsored by mountain equipment at all?
Hi, yes Mountain Equipment provide all the team clothing that we use as "uniform" and it is good kit. Mountain Rescue England and Wales (MREW) also provided us with a Paramo jacket we use in summer. Aside from "uniform" team members use a variety of manufacturers kit to meet their needs. We are always on the look out for good kit and are constantly checking out new and innovative kit.
@@buxtonmountainrescue1102 cool, can I also ask what kit does each member receive when they join and to they have to pay for it?
@@niallcartwright1107 The team raises funds from the General Public for the kit we use so each team member is issued with sufficient kit to keep them safe on the hills in all weathers. No one has to pay for the kit. The kit list is basically, a Gortex waterproof outer layer, a selection of soft-shell and fleece options, hats, gloves and Helmet, Goggles and an equipment vest. Members provide their own boots and base layer.
