What else will be useful?
Of course, products for the careful care of clothes! The down, membrane and heat-reflective lining require very careful care and should be washed in a washing machine on a gentle cycle using special detergents.
Of course, trouble won’t happen just once, but the service life of the suit will be significantly reduced due to improper care.

Upper material
The outer layer of fabric determines most of the physical properties of the suit, and serves as a frame for the clothing. There are two large groups of materials - natural and synthetic.
- For moderate activity in good weather conditions, natural fabrics such as tarpaulin or cloth are suitable. They are very durable and quite durable, but can be heavy, uncomfortable or rough. They can also swell, picking up moisture from snow or rain, but they will not be harmed by the heat of a fire or various aggressive liquids such as oil and gasoline.
- If the conditions are expected to be more severe, then it is better to choose synthetic fabrics: their properties help not to get wet, resist strong winds and retain heat. Such fabrics can be very different: from weightless soft scarlet to rough durable cordura, flexible polyamide and oxford with polyurethane lamination. And although different materials give clothes some unique properties, all synthetics have in common light weight, practicality when wearing and washing, and much greater resistance to moisture.
If you want to insulate yourself in layers using moisture-wicking thermal underwear, then you need to pay attention to synthetic materials that are designed for active heat exchange and do not get wet from sweat. Otherwise, the thermal underwear simply will not work as intended.
Well, if you are a conservative supporter of exclusively natural materials, then it is better to select the most dense fabrics, like aircraft tarpaulin, to protect against precipitation.
