What are the best ways to keep warm outdoors?

A lot of people are reluctant to go out in the cold during the winter season. It's a real shame, as there are many ways in which you can protect yourself from low or even sub-zero temperatures. You've probably been told it a million times since you were a kid, but it bears repeating: you need to wrap up warm! The clothes you wear outdoors trap warm air inside.

A good starting point is wearing a cotton T-shirt to absorb sweat and thereby neutralise humidity, which can exacerbate feelings of cold.Then wear a sweater or warm jacket made of high-quality material like wool, cashmere or alpaca. Finally, a decent coat or windcheater on top, as well as a scarf, gloves and most importantly a woolly hat or beanie, as 30% of warmth leaves the body via the head.
