What should I wear in cold weather?
There is no single clothing setup or temperature rating that works for everyone. How warm you’ll feel depends mainly on three factors:
- What you wear underneath your UF PRO gear
- How active you’ll be
- Your individual tolerance to cold
As a general rule, a good cold-weather setup consists of several layers: a base layer to manage moisture, an insulating layer to retain body heat, and an outer layer to protect against wind, rain, and snow.
Keep in mind that there is no guaranteed temperature rating for cold-weather clothing. Wind, rain, humidity, activity level, layering, and individual sensitivity to cold can all significantly affect how warm you feel.
