Hi. We're REI, a member-owned co-op, and we've been connecting people with the great outdoors since 1938. We offer quality gear and clothing, help from friendly in-store staff, a website full of expert advice and now ... videos!

We hope our latest offerings will inspire you to get outside and do what you love, or do what you would love if only you knew how to fit a backpack or fix a flat bicycle tire. So sit back, relax and enjoy the shows. And then get up, get out and enjoy the world.

LAYERING FOR THE ELEMENTS  
CROSS-COUNTRY SKI CLOTHING

Clothing for cross-country skiing must keep you warm, comfortable and protected from the elements. The level of protection you need will depend on the kind of skiing you have planned, the expected weather conditions and the length of your tour.

GENERAL CLOTHING GUIDELINES:

BE PREPARED! - Weather conditions can change quickly, no matter how short your tour is or how close you are to home. Be prepared for changes every time you venture out.

DRESS IN LAYERS! - The easiest way to stay warm, comfortable and dry while cross-country skiing is to dress in a series of lightweight, non-binding clothing layers. This will allow you to add or remove layers throughout the day in response to weather and internal temperature changes.

DON'T OVERDRESS! - Wearing too much clothing can lead to increased perspiration, which can lead to discomfort, chills and even hypothermia.
