Winter is the quietest, most underrated season in the Ontario outdoors, and the difference between a miserable day out and a magical one is mostly what you're wearing.
We're back at Fjällräven on Queen Street West for an evening clinic on dressing for the cold. First up is active winter hiking: how to build a layering system, manage sweat before it chills you, choose between wool and synthetic base layers, and use zips and venting on the move. We'll also cover what's on your feet, from boots and gaiters to ice spikes.
Then we'll head into winter camping with one of our most experienced winter guides: how we stay warm overnight in a hot tent, and the camp kit that makes it cosy, like down booties and hats, felted wool camp wear and a heavy wool sweater. Fjällräven will have their new Devold merino base layers on hand, so you can feel the difference between the weights for yourself.
Food and drinks are laid on by Fjällräven. Wilderness Union members get in free, with 25% off in store on the night.
