Set (pant – Jacket) of Gore-Tex (windproof –water

Long underwear; Synthetics like polypropylene and polyester
are best fabrics for this purpose. A fleece Jacket is also
necessary for most of the times sitting in the dinning tent
or for chilly cold. Wind stopper fleece can be smart choice.
Insulation layers should be made of wool or synthetics.
Cottons are not very good in cold as if it get wet will
take long time to dry. Dawn Jacket, Rain parka is also essential
