the ear after fitting.

Tips for keeping warm
Choose clothes according to the
job - not only the temperature.
Dress in an area similar to your
work environment. Layer clothes to allow for temperature
variances.
Avoid perspiration. Keep your clothes
dry, both inside and out. Ventilate your clothes
regularly when you are highly active and don't
overdress.
Don’t wear clothing that’s
too small or too tight. Poor blood circulation
reduces your body’s ability to generate
heat.
Drink lots of water, cut down on
caffeinated and hot beverages. You need lots of
water to stay warm. Caffeine acts as a diuretic
and can dehydrate. Hot drinks can cause sweating.
Don’t smoke or drink alcohol.
Nicotine and alcohol dangerously effect the body’s
ability to regulate and conserve heat. They effect
your extremities in particular.
Eat more. Yes, eat more. At least
3,000 to 4,000 calories per day is recommended
when exposed to extremely cold environments. Your
diet should consist of 40% carbohydrates, 40%
fats and 20% proteins.
Don’t expose your skin. Exposed
skin can freeze quickly. At temperatures of 0O
and below your skin can freeze in less than 15
seconds. Avoid touching cold metal or plastic
objects with your bare skin.
Don’t ignore your body’s
signs. Cold hands and feet are signs that your
body temperature has dropped. If your hands and
feet are cold, make sure that your head is properly
covered. If you find that you are drowsy, lose
coordination, shiver or breathe slowly, get out
of the cold.
The art of layering
Air trapped between layers of clothes insulates
better than a single heavy garment. Here are the
basics.
Layer 1. Start wth an undershirt or long johns
in fabrics which trap body heat and wick moisture
away from skin. Socks should be made of wool or
wick-dry synthetic like Coolmax.
Layer 2. Wear long-sleeved cotton denim or flannel
shirts which allow moisture to evaporate.
Layer 3. Pants and vests made of wool keep body
core warm without bulk. Water-proof boots with felt
liners or other insulation keep feet dry and warm.
Layer 4. Choose coats and jackets with fleece linings
and outer shells made of wind- and water-resistant
PVC coated nylon. Fleece is the fabric favored by
professional skiers an mountain climbers because
it retains natural body warmth even when wet and
has a very high "warmth to weight" ratio
making it effective without being bulky. Quilted
poly/cotton is another excellent lining material.
The quilting traps and retains body heat.
Layer 5. Hats, Neck Warmers and Vest put climate
control on your side to keep the entire body warm,
especially when Hot Rods Warming Packs are inserted
in garment pockets.
More about Earmitts Ear Warmers
ONE SIZE FITS ALL! They are ideal for work, play,
or evening.
The design has just been improved for a better fit.
The special inside frame now has the capability
to mold itself to your particular ear shape. The
more you wear them, the more comfortable they become!
Ear Mitts® are made with a soft and durable
lightweight fleece (3 layers), and lined with 100
gram* Thinsulate™ Insulation from 3M designed
to keep warmth in and cold air and wind out.
The unique microfibers of Thinsulate™ Insulation
are about ten times smaller than the fibers of most
other synthetic insulations, which means they are
much more efficient at trapping air. . . and more
effective at keeping you warm. It also means there
are more fibers packed into the same space, where
they can reflect back more of the heat radiating
from the body.
Neither repeated machine washings nor dry-cleanings
markedly affect the performance of Thinsulate™
Insulation. Tests have shown, in fact, that Thinsulate™
Insulation remains relatively unchanged even after
repeated cleanings.
Thinsulate™ Insulation is the smartest choice
if staying warm is important to you. When you compare
equal thicknesses, the original "warmth without
bulk" Thinsulate™ Insulation offers almost
one-and-one-half times the warmth of down, and twice
the warmth of other high-loft insulation materials.
Ear Mitts® Make the Difference!
An independent testing laboratory investigated
the temperature effects on the surface of the ear.
Through advanced thermal photography (thermography),
lab technicians were able to take a snapshot of
temperature variations on the surface of the ear
by using an infrared camera to detect the infrared
radiation emitted from the head area.
The woman in the pictures below was exposed to frigid
conditions inside a walk-in freezer for 15 minutes.
In the BEFORE case, the woman was exposed to the
freezing temperatures without head or ear protection
of any kind. In the AFTER case, the woman was exposed
to the same conditions in the freezer for the same
length of time wearing Ear Mitts® Bandless Ear
Muffs lined with C100 Thinsulate™ Insulation
from 3M.
