We mostly drive everywhere, so you don’t have to get tactical gear, unless you plan outdoorsy activities. If so, invest in the proper stuff, it makes all the difference. You will need a coat, I get an ultralight down jacket from Uniqlo once every few years. They’re not the best quality, so last like 3 seasons only, but the price is great. And I wear a million layers. Base layers, good hats/scarves/mittens are key. Balaclavas are BACK, so says fashion, so there’s that.
