Hiking clothing
Wear several layers over one another and dress according to the weather conditions. Please make sure, that your jacket is not too small. This means it being too tight, uncomfortable and you will freeze a lot easier.
Jacket
Space to breathe and robust material are at the forefront here.
Underwear
Synthetic material is also of advantage here, preventing fluids from passing through, preventing the body from freezing quicker.
Jumper
Fleece is the best option, very functional and light.
Gloves and socks
Gloves are extremely important, as hands and feet have cold receptors. Do not use any cotton socks; these will store any damp, preventing the heat from getting to your feet. Tip: a mix of wool and synthetic. A spare pair should also be packed into your rucksack.
