Dressing for your visit to the Regional Science Center
The secret to staying warm and comfortable is layering. Like fluffed up fur or feathers on animals, layers of clothing trap air to prevent heat loss. Layers also allow you more freedom of movement. You can shed outer garments when you're more active and generating extra heat. Remember, sweating can be like falling into a lake. Heat loss is rapid when your skin becomes wet. To be really warm when it's cold outside you should wear:
a hat that covers your ears a T-shirt (woolblend is best) a wind-proof jacket wool-blend underpants 2 pairs of socks |
 |
a scarf to keep your neck covered 1 or more thin sweaters mittens wool or insulated slacks winter boots |
