What to Wear on a Dog Sled Tour
Dress for sitting in winter wind, not for a gym warm-up. You will not hike heat into your core the way you would on a trail walk. The kennel may loan outer gear — ask what they provide.
Quick Facts
- Windproof outer layer
- Warm mid-layer (fleece or similar)
- Gloves or mittens that stay on
- Insulated boots — not fashion sneakers
- Face covering on cold or windy days
What About Ski Pants?
Fine if you own them. Useful when snow kicks up. Not a reason to buy a full ski kit for one tour.
What to Leave Behind
Cotton jeans that soak and chill. Loose scarves that catch. Dangling jewelry near dog contact time.
FAQ
**Do they rent gear?** Some kennels do. Confirm before you drive.
**Helmet?** Follow that kennel’s brief. Not every tour requires one.
