Gearing Up for Wet Weather in Spring

We have probably weathered the coldest days of the winter and are looking forward to some warmer days ahead.  With the melting snow and shift to traditionally more rainy days, we have recommendations for spring gear. Here is our recommended list of outerwear for the days between 20-40 degrees or for rainy/sloppy days

Cold & Wet Days

  • Warm hat that covers ears (send an extra)
  • Two upper layers
    • Choose one or two: thermal base layer, t-shirt, and/or sweater/sweatshirt
    • Choose one: waterproof  jacket or rain suit
  • Waterproof insulated mittens (send an extra)
  • 2-3 lower layers
    • Choose one or two: thermal base layer or leggings or pants
    • Choose one: rain pants or rain suit
  • Warm socks (wool or synthetic)
  • Insulated, waterproof winter boots or rain boots

If you have any questions about the weather policies or gear, please contact Sheila at will0342@umn.edu. Thank you for all that you do in support of this level of engagement with learning and exploration!
