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

416 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!

Layers are the name of the game. And not clingy layers either, you want air gaps between them. For reasonably cold weather and not like, a blizzard, you’ll be fine with a top layer that’s thin but waterproof, and a bottom layer that’s more insulating like wool.
