Thermo layers

Tiedie · 29/11/2017 18:06

What's the warmest you have? Pack that! Doesn't need to be wool, but thermal and layers. Have you got warm boots and socks? Cold feet always make the rest of me freeze. And a hat and scarf. Sorry, I'll stop there, I'm beginning to sound like my mother!

WRT packing, probably just your undies, make up and a few changes of top, you'll be wearing everything else!
So grab your warmest coat, scarf, hat and gloves. Then for your feet walking boots or something else with a good grip and thermal socks. (Lots of cobbles)
Most coats seemed to be the puffa/down type, lots of black. Thin people had them belted Grin

Leggings or fleece tights to wear under your trousers. Warm, waterproof, flat boots.

SukiTheDog · 29/11/2017 20:09

Thermals and layers. Gloves/hat. Comfy footwear (cobbles). A brolly. Sunglasses.

Fantastic place. Enjoy!

Defo fleece lined tights-were a revelation when watching eldest play rugby for hours on freezing pitch. Wear under jeans etc and you can always take off and stick quite compactly in your bag if you go to warm restaurant etc.

I was there in Feb a few years ago and it was utterly freezing, lots of snow around. Wrap up warm! Great city though, would love to go back at some point.

I would raid the Uniqlo Heattech section!

here

The tops are very soft.

Then maybe a down jacket? Or a parka?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/11/2017 18:57

We were there in December a few years ago. Lowest recorded temperature whilst we were there was -12. I recommend plenty of hot chocolate stops!

Snow boots...the short,practical, insulated type, for keeping your feet warm and dry.
Gloves with proper linings or double layered and a hat with a proper fleece layer inside it so the wind doesn't whip through it.

Polichinelle · 30/11/2017 21:19

My last visit there was Easter a couple of years ago. I had at least 4 layers, long coat, hat, etc. I look freezing in every picture

Tortadellanonna · 30/11/2017 21:20

It doesn’t feel as cold as it is. Layers, merino wool is good, sealing the layers by tucking in, proper hat.

jelliedeel · 30/11/2017 21:27

I second the Uniqlo heattech stuff too...ultra warm tights for under trousers and the layering tops.

Korez · 30/11/2017 21:31

I've been before in February when snow is on the ground, it was cold but not as expected... it was snowing in the UK at the time, which felt much colder due to wind chill... so was quite comfortable over there with what I was wearing on a cold day here in the UK. Top tip... ensure you validate tram tickets (couldn't get to one due to a busy tram and ended up with a fine Angry)
