How to Dress
Preparing for the conditions is important, but sometimes mother nature throws curve balls. Its im-portant to layer appropriately. During the summer months, people generally wear a synthetic T-Shirt with Synthetic Shorts. In addition, people generally bring an extra synthetic layer for that “just in case” situation. Programs in the Spring or Fall should wear a long sleeve synthetic T shirts, and synthetic pants or long underwear and shorts. Longer programs that will be off site from the shop generally re-quire more extra layers. Participants should mind the weather, and pack accordingly. The shop has splash pants and tops for use, in addition to dry bags for extra layers.
