What to Wear to Fur Rondy... to stay warm
The obvious answer to what to wear to Fur Rondy is fur, which is clearly what the people pictured here had in mind. (If you could see it from the front, the one's pelt actually has the face of a wolf and the other the face of a bear.)
John and I were about as comfortable as we could be without a Balaclava mask...
*I was wearing a thin sweater shirt and a down jacket, a hat with ear flaps (and occasionally, I had my hood up), sun glasses, a scarf, thin exercise pants with jeans over them, wool socks, a good pair of calf-high winter boots, and leather gloves. Changes I'll make for next week-- ski gloves that have more insulation and double socks.
*John had on an undershirt and hoodie, a cashmere coat, a hat that covered his ears, khaki pants, regular socks, winter boots, and leather gloves. He doesn't think he'll make any changes.
(You can tell from the difference of what we wore who the winter wimp is!!)
Oh, yeah, and lip balm... definitely lip balm, especially if it's windy.
