Get to Know your Winter Wear
The best way to dress for winter is to wear layers; the basic three-tier protection is recommended. In general, the three main layers are wicking (thermal wear), insulating (sweater) and weather protection (jacket).

Winter apparels can be categorized into different types, mainly differing in their design and material – woolen sweater, down feather jacket, leather overcoat, cotton jacket etc. Pick a suitable material and fit for different seasons and weather to give yourself maximum range of motion.

Wool
To protect oneself from extreme cold weather, wool is the perfect material to keep warm compared to acrylic and cotton. Woolen wear is a necessity for winter temperatures of 0°C and below.

Polyester
Polyester possesses the hydrophobic function. The fiber is more breathable and has the ability to dry quickly. Therefore, polyester wear is suitable for outdoor activities in fall or cool conditions.

Cotton
Cotton is a natural fiber that has a high degree of strength, durability and absorbency. It absorbs water from our body and emits heat like a cooling machine. Therefore, cotton is more suitable for autumn.

Down Feather
Down feather from goose or duck are valuable materials for winter wear. Down feather will become thick and dense in winter to protect the body from severe cold but few and thin in summer to regulate body heat. It absorbs water and emits it in fast speed. Moreover, it is the lightest and warmest material, which makes it perfect for the humid fall.
