ClothingWearing the correct clothing at the centre is essential for your comfort and safety.
Outdoor clothing is based on a layered system consisting of BASE, MID and OUTER layers. The BASE layer is worn next to your skin, the MID layer keeps you warm, and the OUTER layer protects you from the wind and rain.
The BASE layer consists of thermal tops and bottoms. These can be made of either polypropylene or wool (merino).
Please note that at Hillary Outdoors Tongariro we do not supply BASE layer clothing, so you need to either borrow or buy it. Remember that any clothing that has cotton in it (including poly-cotton) provides virtually no insulation and it will make you even colder when wet.
You will not be permitted to wear cotton clothing when participating in activities during wet and cold times. When in the outdoors the phrase ‘cotton is rotten’ is a good one to remember!
