The fun and frivolity of attending the Winter X Games can be derailed quickly if you aren't wearing the right clothes.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

    Take the Right Attire for the Winter X Games

  1. Step 1

    Wear comfortable, lined boots to protect your feet against the cold. Many visitors to the Winter X Games are tempted to wear shoes that focus more on fashion than function to impress their friends. You should invest in a quality pair of boots with a lining graded for at least 20 degrees F.

  2. Step 2

    Utilize multiple pairs of socks to protect your feet from particularly cold weather during the Winter X Games. You should dress with a layer of wool socks on the outside and use one or two pairs of athletic socks to keep your feet comfortable.

  3. Step 3

    Use long johns underneath your clothing to keep your body's core warm throughout the Winter X Games. Long johns feature a thin layer made out of tightly knit cotton and elastic material that keeps your body comfortable from your torso out to your extremities.

  4. Step 4

    Invest in a wind-resistant winter coat when you are preparing to attend the Winter X Games. While watching the Winter X events, you will encounter strong winds and snow on occasion. You can typically find these coats at outdoor sports stores for moderate prices.

  5. Step 5

    Combine several top layers to help keep your body comfortable when watching the Winter X Games. You should wear a sweatshirt or two long sleeve t-shirts in addition to your jacket and long johns to keep your upper body warm. If you do not have a lot of extra clothing, you can head to any retailer to find these shirts at a low cost.

  6. Step 6

    Avoid the potential damage of standing out in the sun by wearing sunglasses and sunscreen at the Winter X Games. You should apply these measures as the last step when you dress in the morning before heading out to the Games site.

Tips & Warnings
  • Pack extra shirts, socks and long johns to cover any contingencies during the Winter X Games. Calculate the number of days you will be in attendance and take enough clothes for 1 day longer than planned.
