Effective layering is the key to staying warm and comfortable in the outdoors when the temperatures start to drop and Fontana Sports has you covered from head to toe with the right clothing options!
Wisconsin is beautiful in the winter, but that beauty comes with a price - the cold. Luckily, Fontana Sports has everything you need for your trek to Picnic Point, cross-country ski excursion, or any one of the other fun winter activities Madison, Wisconsin has to offer!
Base layer – goal is to wick sweat
Best materials are fabrics like merino wool and polyester. Brands like Smartwool, Patagonia, and Terramar Sports sell great base layers and are all available at Fontana Sports in Downtown Madison, WI. Take a look on our website www.FontanaSports.com to browse available base layers.
Mid layer – goal is to retain heat
This layer insulates to trap in your body heat. Materials like fleece and down/synthetic fill do a great job keeping you warm in cold weather. This layer will definitely make your outdoor activities more comfortable and is especially important to keep out the Wisconsin weather. Fontana Sports sells brands like Patagonia, Kuhl, and The North Face, which all have good options.
Outer layer – goal is to protect from wind/rain
The final layer works to keep out the elements, keeping you dry and comfortable. This shell layer is imperative in the late fall/winter, especially in Wisconsin where the weather can change from one moment to the next! These layers are not only durable, but also provide ventilation and breathability to keep your body temperature regulated. Patagonia and Columbia have tons of options available at Fontana Sports.
Enjoy your next outdoor excursion without worrying about the weather by bringing an effective layering system. You can always take layers off, but you’ll wish you have them when you need them – be prepared!
