Use a duffle bag! We recommend having a few dry bags at hand to keep everything organized. On dog sledding expeditions space is limited. Pack light and bring only what you need.
As a 1st layer, use wool underwear on your skin. Wool boxers. A wool net garment is great for top and bottom. Thin wool socks.
The 2nd layer should also be a wool garment. Something a little thicker than your 1st layer is ideal. Top, bottom and a second pair of thicker socks.
On really cold days a 3rd reinforcement layer is needed. Sweater and pants made of wool, fleece or a thin down lined material. A buff or balaclava preserves a lot of the body heat that otherwise will be escaping around your neck.
The shell: In cold conditions a breathable windproof garment is ideal. A big hood on the jacket is a must. The pants must be big enough to cover the large winter boots. A thick beanie, a thin pair of gloves and some nice mittens and you are good to go! Always bring a big parka or down jacket to put on when needed.
