When the “wind chill” heat range falls below -19 levels F, it is possible to create frostbite in less than 10 minutes.The Nationwide Climate Support offers the following advice on how to dress for cool.

Wear levels of loose-fitting, light and portable, heated outfits. Stuck air between the levels will secure you.
Outer apparel should be firmly weaved, water resilient, and hooded.
Wear a hat, because 40% of your body heat range can be lost from your head.
Cover your mouth to secure your respiratory system from excessive cool.
Mittens, tight at the hand, are better than safety gloves.
Try to stay dry and out of the breeze.
