Tip | In winter, your phone’s battery can run out of power very quickly if it is exposed to cold. So it’s important to keep your phone as close to your body heat as possible. The phone pouch is really the solution to make this easier.

Ski goggles

Description | You can add to your winter outfit rental a pair of ski goggles useful for skiing, snowboarding and any other winter sport. Ski goggles are even useful for walking outside, especially when it’s windy and snowy. They are great for protecting your eyes and being comfortable in all kinds of weather.

Tips on how to dress in winter in Quebec City?

  • Have the essentials to protect your extremities | A tuque (toque/hat) that covers your head and ears, a scarf (neck warmer, scarf, buff) to cover your face and neck, warm gloves and mittens, and warm, waterproof boots.

  • If it’s a particularly cold day, stay active!

  • Change of clothes | The worst enemy for being cold is humidity. So, for example, bring several pairs of socks to change into during the day as needed.
  • Multi-layered clothing | Wear technical underwear as the first layer of clothing to allow moisture to escape, then wear a layer of insulating clothing such as a jacket that is easy to remove when it gets warmer. The last layer of clothing protects against wind, snow and rain.
