Head Gear

• The weather in the tundra is extremely cold, often well below freezing, and what someone would expect to experience over the course of an average winter. Because of the low temperatures and high winds it is very important to protect your head and face.
  Combine warm wool or cotton caps, which fit tightly against your skull, with a hood attached to your parka and protective ski goggles. The goggles will protect your eyes and part of your face while the cap will help to keep your body heat in and can be pulled down low to help protect your ears from the wind. A lined hood or a hood with down filling will help to keep your head warm and protected from the wind.
  
  

Body Wear

• When in the tundra it is important to wear waterproof clothing to protect your body from the ice and snow. Layer waterproof clothing with lined or insulated clothing, such as ski pants or a down parka, to keep your body protected from the elements.
  
  

Shoes

• Waterproof boots are a must in the cold temperatures of the tundra. Most of the walking you would do in the tundra, no matter what time of year, is through water, snow or ice, so it is imperative that your shoes be waterproof. Though it's not necessary, it is suggested that your boots also be lined. Boots are available for use in the tundra that are lined in down as well as made of Gore-tex fabrics to keep you warm without hampering your movement.
