What To Wear In Iceland In Winter: Local tips from a local guy

[@Kursakichigo]

Thanks for this useful video! I am going to Iceland in early to mid February and our activities will include chasing the Northern Lights, Glacier Hikes and utilising Snow Mobiles. I currently have a thin waterproof North Face (dryvent) Jacket... and was going to purchase a Down Jacket to wear underneath to provide the warmth. Essentially I was going with this strategy as opposed to buying a Parka jacket. Wanted to get your thoughts if this would be suitable? We do plan to do a waterfall another day, but I was going to use Hoodies and fleeces as mid-layers for that day! Much appreciated!

Hey! That sounds like a solid plan! Just means you’ll need more layers. Make sure to add thermals in there!

[@Kursakichigo]

@icelandcover Thanks for your response! Would you say more thin mid layers or base layers?

[@icelandcover]

Both are good, but thermals are always a great choice!

I will tell you what to wear. "Everything, everywhere, all the time."

[@icelandcover]

Great advice!

[@PlanetaryCitizen]

Good advice! I'll be in Iceland mid-November and already have some good clothes to take with me. I don't feel the cold much here in the UK, but I am 70 so I'd better be careful and wear some thermals!

Hi, which pants are you recommending? Are they from Didrikson? Many thanks in advance! 🙂

[@icelandcover]

Hey! Yea they are! Any outdoor pants that protect you from the wind and rain will do though! But we’re very happy with Didriksons

Hi bro

[@icelandcover]

Hello!

[@vjakkapun]

Can i wear the trail gortex waterproof running shoe in March? Thanks in advance.

[@icelandcover]

Hey! This is a tricky one. If they are off road running shoes that should do fine. However you might have an issue with things such as glacier hiking since it wont have a high top (I assume) which is for the crampons. In terms of keeping your feet dry they should do very well, but I don’t know how warm they’ll keep you. My recommendation would be to bring your goretex running shoes and see how it feels and if they’re not enough you can just rent a pair of hiking boots!
