Hi Guys,

IŽm going to take my vacations and IŽll travel to visit some countries in Europe, so I need and advice from the people who lives there. I watched in the news that you are freezing guys, so I would like to know what kind of clothes do you wear.

IŽm going to visit Spain, France, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Luxemburg.

Thanks!

Salu2

Sounds like you're going to need to prepare for all kinds. I heard they were getting snow in Spain even past few weeks.

You'll need a fleece, some thinsulate gloves and hat and probably a waterproof/windproof jacket. The weather can be pretty horrendous in Holland.

I've been going out with up to 8 layers, extra t-shirts and all that on top recently in Scotland. They are forecasting more weather like this, but it has turned warmer recently so next week we could be back to miserably wet 10 degrees C day and night winter weather.

Hope not though.

Are you going hiking in the alps? If not just wrap up and you'll be fine. It's just a cold snap, not the antarctic.

that belt really ties it all together

just wanted to say to take many thinner clothes that you can combine + something light and maybe windproof on top instead of heavy bulky stuff, and you'll be okay. as long as you keep moving. and not stopping for a rest, get all sleepy.


optional:
