The cold season will be coming. When your kids are heading outside for recess in cold weather, it's essential to wear the right clothing to stay warm, dry, and comfortable. By choosing the right layers, accessories, and materials, you can stay comfortable and safe while enjoying outdoor activities in cold weather. The key is to ensure that your clothing keeps you warm, dry, and protected from the elements while allowing you to move freely and adjust as needed. When it's feels like -25 C the recess is inside.
