What this book will do for you

Alaska's state motto is "The Last Frontier." As such it carries with it an aura of the unknown - a destination with a little mystery surrounding it. In fact, there are a lot of unknowns as well as many outright misconceptions about Alaska. Front cover of the book Alaska Wear.Some of those misconceptions involve the climate (average weather conditions) of Alaska. ... By following the guidelines in this book you can have confidence you will be warm, dry and comfortable during your visit to Alaska.   

Tony Russ has worked and played in the Alaskan outdoors for 45 years. He has enjoyed (sometimes endured) every type of weather Alaska has to offer and consequently learned how to dress for comfort under all circumstances. His advice on gearing up for a comfortable Alaskan experience will greatly enhance your enjoyment of a visit to our 49th state.

You will be warm, dry and comfortable in Alaska by following this guide.
