Hello
I have booked a trip to Iceland in late January and as part of this trip I will be doing some hiking in snowy conditions, dog sledding and visiting an ice cave which requires a hike on a glacier.
I am the first to admit I am a summer climber so I have booked my trips with guides but I want to make sure I have the right clothng with me to make sure its enjoyable and not a hypothermic nightmare.
I currently have;
Winter boots rated to -20 celsius,
A few merino wool base layers,
Jack wolfskin waterproof trousers,
Burton snowboardin gloves with Raab liners,
An assortment of hats and buffs.
I have a few options for my jacket but I am also considering buying a new jacket if necessary. Currently I have a Montain Extreme Smock and a Jack Wolfskin waterproof (non insulated) which I was thinking could work layered.
Or I have a Jack Wolfskn down waterprood jacket but I think its lost its waterproofng even after beng washed with some Nikwax reproofer.
I am expecting minimum temperatures to be -10 celsius so would welcome advice on layering to make sure I can enjoy the trip whilst staying warm and dry.
Thank you
Ben
