What to pack for The Valley in the winter

When preparing for a winter trip to The Valley, it is important to pack clothing that will keep you warm and dry in potentially cold and wet conditions.

Layering is key to staying comfortable and regulating your body temperature. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, such as long underwear and a thermal top, to keep sweat away from your skin.

Choose an insulating middle layer, like fleece or down jackets, to trap heat and keep you warm. Remember to pack wool or synthetic materials for insulation, as they are better at retaining warmth when wet compared to cotton. Finally, bring a waterproof and windproof outer layer, such as a jacket and pants with sealed seams to protect you from the elements.

Don't forget to pack warm accessories like gloves, hats, and waterproof boots to keep your extremities warm and dry while exploring The Valley.
