The Trick to Staying Outdoors Longer, Layering

The holidays are behind us, the New Year is here, and we are excited for an adventurous and fun-filled winter! As an outdoor store, we embrace all of the seasons with open arms and winter is no exception. Some of our favorite things to do this time of the year include cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, downhill skiing and snowboarding, and hiking (yes you can still hike in the winter). Some of these outdoor sports can be overwhelming – especially if you’ve never dressed for the occasion.

Being active in the winter is tricky because your adrenaline is pumping, you are sweating and working, but yet the temperatures outside are low and you want to make sure that you maintain a good body heat without getting overheated! The trick to making sure you are dressed properly is to dress in layers. That way, if you are too hot, you can peel a layer off and on the contrary, if it is a bitter cold day, you can always add it back on. We suggest layering every from head to toe…down to glove and sock liners!

Now, we also understand that walking into a big box store to ask for help can be tricky. At Ramsey Outdoor, we take our customer service very seriously. We are a family owned and operated business and know that what you want is customized service so that you can tell us your exact scenario and we can outfit you for each adventure on a personalized level. From our family to yours, we can promise you that you will walk in with questions and out with answers. We look forward to spending time with you and your family to make sure that you can have fun and be warm and safe in these cold northeast temperatures.
