LAYERING
It’s best to dress in layers so that clothing can be easily removed or added. We suggest bringing a small backpack where you can easily store these layers.
A good set of base layers is essential. Long thermal underwear, a thermal top, and thermal socks are important. You can then add more layers depending on the temperature. We suggest merino wool, as it is great for its warmth and antimicrobial properties. You will need to have a hat or beanie, and it’s recommended to take a neck warmer or buff.
WATERPROOF CLOTHES
Getting wet in the polar regions is a possible reality. There could be rain or snowfall, or you may get sprayed when navigating in the Zodiac in adverse conditions. You will be provided with waterproof boots, and certain companies will give you waterproof parkas.
You will have to bring waterproof pants and waterproof gloves – it is possible to rent these while in Ushuaia. Inside the ship, you need to have comfortable clothes and enclosed shoes with nonslip soles. Expedition life is casual.
