What are scientists clothes made out of in antarctica?

Answer 1

Extreme Cold Weather gear is wind resistant, heat preserving, and engineered to protect humans who can freeze to death within about 15 minutes without it in Antarctica.

Down jackets with fur-ruffed hoods, bear-claw mittens so you can wipe ice crystals off your cheeks, bunny boots made of rubber on two-inch platforms keep your feet off the ice, and wind pants keep out the constant wind.

Under this top layer, you wear serious 'long johns' covering all of your legs and arms, wool tube sox that roll up to your knees, turtle-neck sweaters, plaid, long-sleeve shirts and heavy sweaters are worn always.

Glacier sun-glasses with temple flaps to reduce the glare on your eyes and wool balaclavas are worn when spending extended periods out of doors.

Fingerless gloves permit fine work in short spurts, then the mitts are replaced.

Natural fibre clothing is favoured, since its heat-retaining qualities are most predictable.
