Q: what are the recs for clothing for june to august for a winter trip
AWS EXPERT REPLY
For a winter trip to AWS Lodge between June and August, you can expect crisp, cool to cold weather, especially in the mornings and evenings. Layering is absolutely key to staying comfortable throughout the day.
Here are our recommendations for clothing:
• Base Layers: Start with moisture-wicking thermal underwear (top and bottom) to keep you dry and warm.
• Mid Layers: Add insulating layers such as fleece jackets, sweaters, or down vests. These can be easily added or removed as temperatures change during the day.
• Outer Layer: A waterproof and windproof jacket is essential. Look for something durable that will protect you from potential rain or strong winds while in the field. A similar robust, insulated, and waterproof pair of hunting pants would also be highly recommended.
• Headwear: A warm hat (beanie or wool cap) is crucial for heat retention.
• Gloves: Insulated, waterproof gloves are a must to keep your hands warm and dry, especially during early morning shoots.
• Socks: Pack several pairs of warm, moisture-wicking wool or synthetic socks.
• Footwear: Waterproof, insulated hunting boots are critical for comfort in potentially muddy or wet field conditions.
• Lodge Attire: For your time at the lodge, casual and comfortable clothing is perfect.
