Wind
Fierce wind, sometimes combined with cold and other climatic features, can have the result of increasing the degree of cold experienced. While the actual temperature might, by itself, still be bearable, the wind ensures that the effect of the temperature is more severe and unpleasant. This is called the wind-chill factor, and necessitates protection against the wind. In addition to the use of wind-proof materials, such as fur and leather, the design used for clothing is also of great importance. Thus a closed coat, without a front fastening, is perfectly windproof.
