The main factor in choosing clothes is convenience.
Clothing should not be tight, which does not leave space for an air gap, which is an excellent insulator. Wool and some modern synthetic fibers such as fleece retain heat better than cotton.
Autumn (September - October): thermal underwear, comfortable warm pants, windproof jacket, comfortable hiking shoes. A hat, scarf and gloves will not be superfluous, because in autumn there are frosts at night.
In winter (November - April): thermal underwear, warm winter pants, warm winter jacket, hat, scarf, gloves, high winter shoes, warm socks.
Additional equipment: self-heating (heating bags), portable charger, thermos (optional), spare shoes, winter face mask (optional), contact lenses instead of glasses, other at your discretion.

Rub it with snow! This only aggravates hypothermia, and also damages tissues, you can easily get an infection.
Keep warm with dry heat (near a fire, stove, putting your hands and feet on the battery)! Risk of irreversible tissue damage.
Never lubricate your face with a cream, especially a moisturizer! Strongly increases the risk of frostbite. In light to medium frosts, use oily cosmetics, in strong ones - do not apply to the face and it.
Don't go outside on an empty stomach.
If you feel that your legs and arms are starting to freeze, immediately start moving, later it will hurt to do it.
Do not rub your face with a mitten, only with a dry palm, but it is better to practice grimacing: smile, wrinkle your nose.
After you get very cold, be careful when you finally get to a warm place, as often the warming process is accompanied by severe painful sensations and dizziness, up to fainting.
Give alcohol, coffee. A sharp blow to the narrowed vessels can lead to their rupture, internal hemorrhages, disruption of the heart. In addition, vasodilatation will lead to even greater heat loss and will only speed up the cooling process.
Meteorologists tell us the degrees of heat and cold clearly, without deception, and how many meters per second the free wind flies, they tell us, and everyone knows about the humidity of the air. But the trouble is - they are not trying to tie all these weather indicators together.
It is known that in frosty weather with a breeze and high humidity, the effect is quite strong. For example, in a frost of -15 ° and a wind of 15 m / s, a person experiences a temperature of about -40 °. Even at freezing temperatures, the wind is so cold that you can get frostbitten.
In the meantime, you can use a simplified table that meteorologists offered us (we are talking about winter). It indicates the strength of the wind and the air temperature in conditions of different solar radiation, that is, when it is "cloudy", "semi-clear" and "clear". In this case, moisture is also taken into account.
