Waterproof Mitten & Insulated Glove Set - Men's & Ladies Sizes
A "must have" combination for polar exploration - it combines a waterproof outer mitten shell constructed with 3-layer 70D Taslan ripstop GORE-TEX® with a wind & weather resistant insulated soft shell glove (insulated with a wicking wool blend) that has wrapped leather palms for dexterity in the field. This technical, versatile, set provides you the best storm protection in cold, damp climates. Wear them together or separately as conditions and your situation dictate. See "Waterproof Mitten & Insulated Glove Set" in Gloves & Mitens.

Double Layer Poly Gripper Gloves - Men's & Ladies' Sizes
Made by Outdoor Research, these gloves are an interesting hybrid. Made of a double layer of insulating poly fleece, with a silicon gripping matrix that aids in handling your camera or binoculars, they're lightweight, BUT warm enough on most Alaska days to be worn as a stand alone glove! See "Double Layer Poly Gripper Gloves" in Gloves & Mittens for a more detailed description.

Tilley Expedition & Walking Socks- Includes 3 Pairs (one pair of each color Navy, Grey, Khaki)
Specifically designed for leisurely walking, hiking, and trekking, they’re warm in the winter and comfortable in the summer. Made primarily of fine ‘itchless’ Merino wool (63%) for softness, they wick moisture better than any other fabric - most important for staying warm and dry in Antarctica. They have Teflon in the toe and heel to reduce blister-causing friction. Wash ‘em by hand and they dry overnight. See 'Tilley Expedition & Walking Socks' in the Footwear section for a full description.

Midweight Thermals - Men's and Ladies' sizes
High on the list of "recommendations" for Alaska is this excellent set of midweight long underwear, made of technologically-advanced fabrics designed to take moisture away from the body and disperse it for rapid evaporation. See Midweight Thermal Tops and Pants' in the Outerwear section for a full description.

The Fleece Toque - One Size Fits Most
Traditional, comfortable, and warm, this is a good, lightweight, easy-packing fleece ski type hat. It packs small and one size fits most.
