Winter Gear and Warmth Guide for Ice and Snow World

Layering

• Base: moisture-wicking thermal wear — avoid pure cotton (loses warmth when damp).
• Mid: fleece or a down liner to trap heat.
• Outer: a long, thick down jacket, windproof and warm.

Essentials

• Hat, scarf, gloves (waterproof and thick recommended), thick socks and non-slip snow boots.
• Heat packs for the waist, soles and the back of your phone.
• Lip balm and hand cream; indoor–outdoor temperature swings are large — keep hydrated.

Cameras and phones

Batteries drain fast in the cold — carry spares and keep them in an inner pocket. Before entering a warm room, bag your gear to prevent condensation on lenses and body.
