Cold Weather Essentials

Season: Deep winter

When it is consistently cold (think less than 45 degrees Fahrenheit), this wardrobe has your little one covered all winter. This season is the most important to be properly attired as it is a matter of safety.

Winter Ready Essential Gear List:

Snow suit- a staple for consistently cold days, a waterproof one piece snow suit provides completed cold weather coverage.

Three season boots- insulated and waterproof, this boot can be worn almost all year.

Warm socks- wool or synthetic socks provide added warmth and protection.

Fleece set- a fleece sweater and pants provide added warmth for very chilly days.

Warm hat- a warm winter hat protects head and ears from cold and wind.

Waterproof mittens- waterproof mittens keep hands warm and dry.

Notes:

• It’s best to avoid cotton in cold weather, because it does not wick moisture away from the skin (like sweat) and does not insulate when wet. Synthetic or natural fibers (like wool) are best for this season to ensure protection.

• The three season boot and fleece sweater are also essentials for spring/fall.
