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

438 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!

In addition to layering and wool other recommend, get some insulating boots (or semi insulat + woolen socks).

Also, warm headwear: hat, beanie or similar. A lot of heat escapes from the head, and a beanie is easy to take off as soon as you get too warm.
