The key to comfort in Alaska is layer your clothing and be prepared for one season colder than that in which you are traveling. Alaska is informal so casual wear is welcomed and common everywhere. Wearing layers will keep you warm and allow you to peel off in case it heats up. Synthetic or wool fiber garments are warmest, cotton is not a good choice. The items below are recommended for your personal comfort. Keep in mind any scheduled activities that have special needs.
-
- Layered clothing - from short sleeves and shorts to sweaters and long pants Weather conditions change, many micro-climates exist within a region. Casual dress is appropriate.
- Comfortable walking shoes or light hiking boots if you are taking a guided glacier trek
- Rain jacket & pants - light weight and breathable is best.
- Light - Medium weight jacket - a lined wind breaker is ideal. Autumn Tour - dress warm .
- Warm socks - synthetic or wool, not cotton. Trekking socks are ideal.
- Warm cap and light gloves - for cooler regions and higher altitudes, or ladies with cold hands.
- Sunglasses - especially on the glaciers and water
- Sunscreen - especially on the glaciers and water
- Insect repellent
- Camera
- Film
- Day pack - to carry extra layers or personal needs on a daily basis.
- Motion Sickness medicine - when taking a cruise, if in doubt - it will make the difference between a good and bad day without question.
