Many parts of Europe are shrouded in severe cold, the temperature drops sharply, and large-scale snowstorms cause traffic paralysis. In such a harsh climate, it is crucial to understand and prepare appropriate protective equipment, which is related to everyone’s life, health and daily convenience.
Head protection
The head is an important part of the body where heat is lost, and a high-quality cold-proof hat is essential. It is best to choose a hat made of wool, which can retain a large amount of static air between its fibers and has excellent warmth retention performance. Like the classic Lei Feng hat style, it can not only protect the top of the head, but also cover the ears to prevent frostbite.
Body warmth
Down jackets: Down jackets filled with high-quality goose down and containing more than 80% down are the first choice. It has high fluffiness and can form an effective warmth layer to isolate the cold air from the outside. Long down jackets can cover the thighs and even the knees, providing all-round protection for the core area of the body to prevent the waist and buttocks from getting cold, and it is best to have a waterproof outer layer of fabric to cope with the humid environment of snowy days.
Thermal underwear: Close-fitting thermal underwear should be made of breathable and warm materials, such as German wool or cashmere blends. The fine fibers of cashmere can quickly absorb human moisture and dissipate it, keeping the skin dry and locking in body heat; cashmere blended underwear is soft and skin-friendly, keeping warm and lasting, giving the skin warm care, laying a good foundation for subsequent multi-layer clothing.
Jacket: If you need to be outdoors for a long time, a windproof and waterproof jacket with a fleece liner is a perfect combination. The outer layer of the jacket can withstand the raging wind, the waterproof layer can ensure that the body is not wet during blizzards, and the fleece liner provides additional warmth, allowing you to move freely and warm like spring.
Hand protection
Hands are easily frostbitten when exposed to the outside for a long time. Waterproof and cold-proof gloves are a must-have, and the palm part should have a non-slip design to facilitate walking on icy roads and grasping objects. For people who need delicate operations, such as driving and photography, you can choose gloves with a windproof outer layer and touch screens on the fingertips, which can not only resist the cold, but also do not affect the operation of electronic devices, so as to keep in touch and record wonderful moments in the ice and snow.
Foot protection
Snow boots: High-top, thick-soled snow boots are the savior of feet in cold waves. The inner lining is filled with wool or artificial fur, which keeps warm from the toes to the calves. The soles should have sufficient friction and deep patterns to prevent slipping on snowy and icy roads, ensuring that every step is stable.
Warm insoles: When paired with ordinary shoes, a pair of heating and warm insoles can instantly increase the warmth of the feet. It uses self-heating materials to continuously release heat. Putting it into the shoes can make your feet feel like stepping on a heater. Even if you stand or walk outdoors for a long time, you are not afraid of the cold.
Travel assistance: Dealing with traffic problems caused by snowstorms
Snowy roads are covered with snow and ice. When walking, simple crampons can be tied to the soles of the shoes, and the metal claws can penetrate the ice layer to increase grip; when driving, prepare the window deicing shovel and antifreeze glass water in advance. The deicing shovel can quickly clear the snow on the windows, and high-quality antifreeze glass water ensures clear vision, avoids traffic accidents caused by obstructed vision, and arrives at the destination safely on icy roads.
In the face of this cold wave in Europe, if you prepare these protective equipment, you can calmly deal with low temperatures and blizzards, and protect yourself and your family to spend the winter safely.
