Avoid cottons such as denim, which trap moisture and provide no insulation when wet. Headgear should conserve heat, breathe, and be water repellent. Wear snow goggles or sunglasses to prevent snowblindness. Apply sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. Choose footwear suitable for the terrain, and the amount of walking to be done.
Tight boots are a no-no.
