Clothing used by the Antarctic explorers were not very suitable for the weather conditions as the clothing used by the explorers were made of wool. This wool, although it insulated the user, it often got damp in the cold Antarctic winters
Woollen clothing is not as popular as it was before. Polypropylene fleece and lightweight materials that can insulate and protect the user from the cold. This type of clothing is much more suitable for the blizzards of Antarctica as it is usually waterproof
