  • A thick winter jacket
  • Thermal tops & leggings
  • Warm sweaters
  • Wool socks
  • Waterproof gloves

Tip: Layers are key — you’ll move between heated indoors and cold outdoors.


2. Waterproof Winter Footwear Expect snow, slush, and slippery surfaces.

Pack:

  • Insulated boots

Avoid sneakers — your feet will freeze.
