Necessary clothing in the Arctic is woollen thermals as the base layer, warm wool or fleece trousers & sweater as a mid-layer. You will also need wind- and waterproof jacket and pants. Two layers of socks (thin & thick woollen socks). You must have a warm and windproof hat, scarf or gaiter, and warm windproof mittens/gloves.
