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 work outside in Alberta winters so from my experience there’s lots of variance in what people wear – but the common things are an outer wind/water proof layer and cover up as much exposed skin as possible.
Layers definitely help, but I find it can get restrictive so don’t like doing the layering to work in. I can be outside all day with proper winter work boots, decent snow pants, heavy winter coat, balaclava, toque, and proper winter gloves; outside of the typical pants/shirt/socks I wear on any other work day.
