Legs can be protected from the cold by wearing trousers lined with an insulating material and/or wearing leggings as a base layer. Leggings are available made from the same materials as those described for the torso. The same fit criteria apply, i.e. they should be a snug fit and follow the contours of the legs but should not be tight or cause any restriction of movement. Trousers with a waterproof, breathable outer are recommended, or over-trousers with the same features.O.3.6.2.5 Protecting the feetFeet can be protected by wearing insulated, waterproof and, ideally, breathable boots, perhaps with two pairs of socks. Avoid a tight fit in the boots, which may reduce blood flow and increase the risk of frostbite. Long socks are available made from merino wool, with its superior insulating and comfort characteristics. There are also chemical foot warmers, which function in the same way as the hand warmers described in O.3.6.2.3.© IRATA International Annex O Page 23 of 45 2017-Aug-01
