" Hi, I'm Ches Rainier. Today we are going to do snowmobiling, and in this clip, we are going to talk about what you need to bring whether you are renting or using your own snowmobile in the way of clothing. OK, you definitely want to bring some good snow pants. These are going to protect you from the cold and the wetness. In case you fall off your sled, or you decide sit down or it starts snowing really hard. You want to bring a Jacket. Make sure it's well waterproof well insulated, a jacket designed for snow sports. And, you want to bring gloves for sure. Most snow machines have hand warmers on the hand grips, but, you got to bring gloves anyway because it is cold. And boots, any boots are fine. Snowboarding boots, what ever is comfortable as long as it is a snow boot, because you're going to be in the snow. And a pack-back is good to bring too, because you can put food and water, safety gear that you need, so it is always a good idea to bring a back-pack. And a helmet. Even if you a renting and you have a helmet that you like wearing, bring your own helmet up when you're renting and that way it is going to fit you, and someone else didn't wear it before you. It is a good idea to bring some head protection too. Like a cap like this too is good, because most of your body heat is lost from your head, so have a hat, cover your ears specially if it is cold on a warm sunny day like this, you definitely want to bring a lot sunscreen otherwise you will have some trouble later on, because the snow really reflects on your face even if you are protected from above."
