Abstract

This article focuses on how to dress effectively to stay warm and protect health during cold weather. Experts emphasize the importance of wearing clothing with high thermal insulation and wind resistance, using moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics like wool for base and mid layers, and selecting windproof or waterproof outer shells. Proper layering allows for temperature regulation and helps prevent cold-related health risks such as hypothermia and frostbite. Accessories like insulated hats, mittens, and wool-blend socks are recommended to minimize heat loss from extremities. The guidance aims to help individuals maintain comfort and safety while engaging in outdoor winter activities.
