I put them in two layers of clothing (long-sleeved shirt on top of a tshirt and pants) under their snow pants/bib and coat. They also had snow boots. We're from SD and not used to the cold. They also had gloves and a hat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-snow-tubing-boarding#post-2689096 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 13:24:21 +0000 alphagam84 2689096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It all depends on the temperature. For skiing it's easy to get cold but if you're snowboarding it is much more work and you'll get warm quickly! Just make sure you have all skin covered even if it's not a thick layer. I do a fleece gaitor and earband on my head and I wear a top with thumb holes so there's no wrist skin exposed between the gloves and jacket. For sledding if you're walking up the hill you'll get warm quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-snow-tubing-boarding#post-2688970 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 10:57:20 +0000 Mamaof2 2688970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: yes we do have good socks!</p> <p>@ShootingStar: oh a gaiter - good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-snow-tubing-boarding#post-2688951 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 10:43:18 +0000 808love 2688951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In addition, make sure you have great ski socks and a solid lined hat. That is where you lose a lot of heat if you don't spring for quality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-snow-tubing-boarding#post-2688948 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 10:40:49 +0000 ShootingStar 2688948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You actually get pretty cold skiing. I usually wear a layer of thermals under pants and a fleece vest, then ski pants, coat, neck gaiter, and hat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-snow-tubing-boarding#post-2688931 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 09:53:55 +0000 MrsBrewer 2688931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it totally depends on the temperature! Remember that they will be climbing back up the hill and probably going to be getting hot too. I would be hesitant to layer too much under the snow pants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-snow-tubing-boarding#post-2688927 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 09:41:37 +0000 looch 2688927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always put a layer under my son's snowbib...what about a set of thermal underwear? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-snow-tubing-boarding#post-2688914 Mon, 30 Jan 2017 09:28:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2688914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to figure out how warmly to dress my kids for snow tubing and snow boarding (DS)</p> <p>They have snow bibs - should they wear just a shirt and their winter coat or shirt/sweatshirt and winter coat? I am a freezing cold person by nature so I wear lots of clothes - haha - but wondering if you get warm while tubing/snow boarding? </p>
