Clothing for cold weather
Contexte culturel
In Slovakia, it is customary to remove your winter jacket immediately upon entering someone's home. Leaving it on is seen as a sign that you are in a hurry or that the host's home is uncomfortably cold. In mountain regions, the quality of your 'zimná bunda' is a matter of safety. Locals often judge tourists by their gear; wearing a 'city' jacket on a mountain trail in winter is considered dangerous and foolish. Slovak schools have 'šatne' (cloakrooms) where students must leave their winter jackets and change into 'prezuvky' (indoor shoes). You will never see a student wearing a 'zimná bunda' in a classroom. Every winter, there are 'zbierky zimného oblečenia' (winter clothing drives) where 'zimné bundy' are the most requested items for people in need.
