What to wear

Summer:

The weather in Lofoten changes rapidly.

There can be rain even if the weather forecast says "warm and dry".

You should always carry a wind- and rainproof jacket and trouser.

Thin mittens and a cap is also recommended if you are going to sea or climbing the mountains.

Solid shoes will always give you a good experience in the Lofoten nature.

Winter:

It is recommended that you wear several different layers of clothing.

The innermost layer should be a textile that can absorb sweat and keep your skin dry. Avoid cotton here.The next layer must insulate. For example wool, fleece or down.

Outermost you need a layer that can protect you from the wind and rain. Use a waterproof jacket and trouser, and avoid cotton or dongery underneath.

On your head a hat from wool or fleece.

Your fingers are best protected by mittens because the fingers can share their space inside. Fleece or wool inside with some wind-protection over.

You should also have wool or fleece against your bare feet, because this will be warm and absorb moisture.

Water tight mountain shoes are worth the investment.
