What To Wear In Norway
To sum it up - wrap up and keep dry
- Norway even in summer can be cool, pack warm layers and be sure to pack a waterproof jacket as it rains throughout the year.
- Long trousers and long sleeved T-shirts are good to pack all year round with extra warmer layers, including jumpers and fleeces for the winter.
- The winter months (November-March) are freezing cold and, as well as layers, you need to be sure to pack a thick coat, gloves, hat and scarf, as well as really good boots with soft rubber soles.
- It is important that you get soft rubber soles because even medium soles get really hard in the freezing cold. Make sure too that they have large spaces between the tracks, or the snow will get stuck in them and make them very slippery.
- For extra warmth pack some long thermal underwear, you'll be grateful you did.
- Remember to pack your sun cream the sun can be hot even when the temperature is cold.
- You may also wish to take something to protect your face and lips from the cold dry air.
- Children's faces in particular should be protected by using plenty of lip balm and clothing such as balaclava hats.
- Take sunglasses as the sunrays reflect from the white snow.
- If it's snowing when you plan to visit pack snow goggles they really will help.
