Camp Rimini Clothing Mushers layer their clothing to stay warm and avoid overheating.
Many mushers start with a pair or two of heavy socks, usually one pair of wool, one of cotton.
Next they add a pair of either mukluks, heavy boots, or even a pair of heavy running shoes for their feet. Then they put on a top and bottom polar fleece set, a turtleneck, a down vest, and a gore-tex coat or parka. Warm mittens or gloves protect the hands. If it's snowing, rain gear can go over all this. Finally, mushers wear many different kinds of hats.
