3 HOMI Essentials to Keep You Warm and Stylish
Planning a winter getaway to the slopes or a snowy mountain escape? Dressing for the snow isn’t just about piling on layers—it’s about choosing the right gear to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable without feeling bulky. Snow-covered landscapes are breathtaking, but the wrong clothing can turn a dream trip into a freezing, uncomfortable experience.
Here’s HOMI’s ultimate guide to snow outfits—complete with layering tips and must-have winter essentials—so you can enjoy your trip in cozy comfort and style.
The 3 Golden Rules of Dressing for Snow
1. Windproof & Waterproof Protection
In the mountains, wind can be brutal, and weather conditions change quickly. Sudden snow or rain is common, so a windproof and waterproof jacket is non-negotiable. It helps you maintain body heat and avoid dangerous situations like hypothermia.
2. Maximum Warmth
In snowy environments, your body heat escapes quickly. Choose mid-layers like fleece vests or heated vests for insulation, and accessories like scarves to trap warmth without adding bulk. This way, you can move freely while staying toasty.
3. Breathability Matters
Overheating inside heavy winter gear leads to moisture buildup, which can actually make you feel colder. Opt for breathable, moisture-wicking base layers so sweat doesn’t cling to your skin and drop your body temperature.
What to Wear in Different Winter Temperatures
| Temperature | Outer Layer | Mid Layer | Base Layer | Accessories |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0°C to 10°C | Waterproof windbreaker | Fleece jacket, windproof vest | Moisture-wicking tee | Waterproof gloves, beanie, thermal socks, hiking boots |
| -10°C to 0°C | Waterproof shell, down jacket | Down vest, thick fleece | Moisture-wicking tee, thermal shirt | Insulated gloves, wool hat, snow boots, goggles |
| -20°C to -10°C | High-performance windproof jacket | Heated vest, thick down vest | Thermal shirt | Thermal scarf, heated gloves, insulated snow boots, hand warmers |
| Below -20°C | Extreme cold-weather parka | Heated vest, heavy down jacket, wool sweater | Merino wool base layer | Face mask, thick beanie, snow boots with fur lining, hand warmers |
