How to Dress for Winter

It’s not just about layers—it’s about insulation, moisture, and movement.

The Problem with “Dress in Layers”

People say "layer up,"

but six t-shirts won’t keep you warm

one chunky wool sweater might.

What you really need is thickness, not layer count.

there are Two Types of Cold: Wet vs. Dry

1. Wet Cold
(32–45°F)

  • Miserable because moisture pulls heat from your body

  • Getting wet = getting cold, fast

  • Materials to use:

    • Wool or synthetics next to skin

    • Waterproof outer layer

    • No cotton

2. Dry Cold
(Below 0°F)

  • Cold, but easier to manage

  • Moisture can escape without soaking you

  • Frost builds outside your clothing

  • Materials to use:

    • Wool base and insulation

    • Cotton outer shell OK (for venting)

    • Big, breathable garments like anoraks

Fit Matters More Than You Think

  • Tight gloves and boots = cold hands and feet

  • Leave room for air and extra insulation

  • In wet cold: Waterproof boots

  • In dry cold: Loose, thick boots and wool socks

Quick Winter Clothing Strategy

  • Base layer: Wool or synthetic (keeps skin dry)

  • Mid layer: Insulation

  • Outer layer:

    • Wet cold: Waterproof

    • Dry cold: Wind-resistant, venting shell

  • Head, hands, feet: Cover fully, loosely, and in layers

  • Always bring more than you think you’ll need

Bottom Line

  • Think in thickness and insulation, not number of layers

  • Wet = waterproof; dry = breathable

  • Wool is always a win

  • Keep your clothes loose, dry, and adaptable

  • You can take it off if you’re hot—but you can’t put on what you didn’t bring
