arctic gear
Cold weather clothing
Arctic gear is clothing and equipment designed for extreme cold weather—insulated jackets, thermal layers, heavy boots, and protective accessories that allow survival in frigid conditions.
The term appears in outdoor recreation, military contexts, and polar exploration: Make sure you pack proper arctic gear for the expedition.
Often used loosely for any serious cold-weather clothing.
