It’s important to get sealed up before you go outside. A good seal is just as important as having the right clothes in the first place, especially once you enter negative Fahrenheit temps. For example, a winter coat and some gloves are good, but you gotta make sure the straps at the end of the sleeves are tightened around the gloves. If you don’t, the cold air’s gonna get right up in there. Having pants that will go over a pair of boots is helpful, too, and then some warm socks underneath.

You can adjust the thickness and amount of layers for everything according to how cold we’re talking, but the seals are important for anything below freezing or even slightly above.

Oh, and waterproof your boots. Most shoe stores sell a spray. One coat of the spray, let it set, and then add another coat and let it set. Cold/wet feet are the worst.
