What to Wear on a Dog Sled Tour
Reviewed by the Seeking Adrenaline team
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.
