[quote=Anonymous]When my child was this age he was in a program where they spent 60% of the time outdoors, sometimes more. The guidance school gave to all families: wool underlayer (thin wool shirt and thin wool leggins), a fleece mid- layer (pants and jacket) and a shell layer: outer jacket, breathable and water repellent (or a rainsliker for very wet days) and shell pants. wool socks (thin or medium, depending on footwear), The reason for this advise as they explained is that wool stays warm even when it's wet (from rain or sweat), while cotton absorbs water and stays cold and wet longer. Wool also has thermoregulating properties, which cotton or polyester dont. Finally, with this type of layering, it's easy for teachers to take off layers if kids are too warm or put them back on. Nowadays weather is colder in the morning and warmer during mid-day, so it helps to have options. [/quote]
