It must be always kept in mind the risk doesn’t lie in the low temperatures but rather in a not suitable clothing.
Besides cold, in the mountains there are fast and sudden temperature changes that contribute to create thermal annoyances to the organism.
High mountain clothing must be made of layers ( like an onion) and preferably of technical fabrics such as the polypropylene that, thanks to its specific requisites, can maintain the body temperature constant at its physiological values.
Finding oneself in a skiing track during a severe downfall can be exhausting also for the most trained body, given that the hypothermia risk is always a conceivable possibility.
Mountain climbing technical underwear features must regard an adequate protection from cold, wind, rain and snow; the possibility to get the perspiration expelled without cooling down the body but drying the body quickly, an optimal adherence and wearability.
