What to Wear When You’re Going Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing is an exhilarating way to explore the winter landscape, allowing you to traverse snow-covered terrain easily. Before you set out on your adventure, it’s crucial to wear the right gear to stay warm, dry, and comfortable. At Factory Outdoor Outlet, your go-to outdoor store in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, we offer a wide selection of snowshoes for sale, including the popular MSR snowshoes. Here’s what to wear for your snowshoeing adventure.

Base Layer: Stay Dry

Start with a moisture-wicking base layer. This will keep sweat away from your skin and help regulate your body temperature. Look for materials like merino wool or synthetic fibers, which are both lightweight and breathable.

Insulating Layer: Keep Warm

Next, add an insulating layer like a fleece or down jacket. This layer traps warmth while still allowing breathability. If you anticipate heavier exertion, consider a lighter jacket to prevent overheating.

Waterproof Outer Layer: Protect Against the Elements

A waterproof and wind-resistant outer shell is essential for protecting against snow and wind. Choose pants and jackets made from breathable yet waterproof materials to keep you warm and dry without sacrificing comfort.

Proper Footwear: The Right Boots

Invest in a good pair of winter boots that offer insulation and waterproofing. Your boots should have a sturdy sole to support your snowshoes. At our surplus store, we have a variety of boots that pair perfectly with MSR snowshoes.
