Winter Lena Pillars

Recommendations on clothing, shoes, and equipment for winter tours during the cold season.

Since Yakutia is the coldest region of the northern hemisphere of our planet, clothing and shoes should be suitable for very low temperatures.

During the winter months, when going on long-distance tours, you should always be prepared for air temperatures of -50...-60°C, even if you forecast the temperature to be much higher.

• a down jacket. The main requirement when choosing is the conformity of clothing to the temperature regime (with no movement or low movement);
• a warm sports hat, so that you can put a hood over it.;
• gloves and warm down mittens or made of natural fur;
• balaclava made of thick material;
• warm shoes made of genuine leather with natural wool as insulation. Recommended insoles are felt or insoles with wool fillers. If it is inconvenient to be in them during the transfer, then these shoes or felt boots must be in stock.;
• a warm sweatshirt and a sweater (thin jacket) for traveling, because in insulated cars it is not convenient and comfortable to wear a winter jacket.;
• thermos flask and light snacks for a long trip;
• mug, spoon, knife;
• We recommend that you have special travel or hunting matches and lighters.;
• to walk in deep snow, you must have shoe covers or gaiters. They protect the shoes from getting snow inside.;
• disposable warming insoles;
• hand warmers;
• For stops, we recommend having lightweight seats made of frost-free material.
