What materials/fabrics will keep me warm/dry in snowy/wet climates?

671 viewsOther

I live in Montana but am not native to the northwest, from the south originally. I don’t own a car (walkable cities ftw) so I’m exposed to the elements almost daily. I’ve been making it work in the winters with layering and clutch thrift store finds but I still don’t fundamentally understand what determines good vs bad fabrics/coats/socks for this climate. Please help!

I used to walk to an office job:

– good boots (go to a local hiking store, this should be your most expensive item)

– two layers on top: fleece + gore tex

– “full zip rain pants” are easy to remove

+ Treat any thrift store outerwear with waterproof spray

+Have work shoes and extra socks in your desk just in case
