Living in a Van is live outdoors<\/strong> all year. In hot weather there is no real constraint, we live in shorts \/ T-shirt. But in cold weather it is better to have a minimum of equipment<\/strong> to keep the experience enjoyable. We will not talk here about heating equipment for the van (our article is already here)<\/a>, but lots of equipment for his little person andtips for staying warm<\/strong> in winter and in the off-season to take full advantage of the joys of being outdoors!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The seasons are experienced more intensely on the road. And can change very quickly from one to another without any real calendar logic depending on the geographical area... In short, we forgot the idea of having real seasons in a van for a long time, but the we quickly understood the interest ofhave good equipment!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

This is the basis\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we choose jeans, a cotton sweater and canvas shoes, don't be surprised if you're cold<\/strong>. There is surely no worse outfit during the so-called "cold" seasons. But even knowing that doesn't stop Joana from often donning her favorite black jeans! Fortunately our 2018-2019 winter in Quebec<\/a> strengthened our cold tolerance...<\/strong><\/p>\n

The technical clothing<\/strong> were not created for nothing, they bring a real plus for all outdoor activities<\/strong>. Even for everyday life, for some years now we have found more lifestyle and at all prices<\/strong>. No need to have a huge wardrobe to feel good in everyday life and during outdoor activities. Remember that in this case, living in a van requires a certain minimalism<\/strong>, which today can and ideally should be applied to any lifestyle. With a few exceptions (Joana's famous jeans), we therefore use the same types of clothing for every day and for our hikes \/ treks.<\/p>\n

But in fact, what is technical clothing?<\/strong> It is a garment that uses one type of fiber (often polyester \/ polyamide or merino wool) at a time breathable<\/strong>, to evacuate perspiration responsible for cooling the body (and we don't want that in winter), and which keeps the heat at the same time<\/strong> bodily. Add to that particular weaving techniques or even seams more or less adapted to certain specific practices, and we obtain technical clothing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But why is natural cotton not a good solution? Quite simply, because cotton retains perspiration<\/strong>, it does not dry quickly and therefore cools the body.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
