Most important thing to wear in a Canadian winter.. A Smile.
This is the best advice than any we’ve given in the video. 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
It's true😃
@@andrewshka226 😉
I'm Canadian in a cold Canadian city, and in MY naked eyes😳👁👁, you are 100000% right. Life here is not so bad as people make it out to be!😇😍
I am going to steal that quote. Thanks.❤
This is great comprehensive information. Thanks for putting this together!
Thank you for watching, stay warm!
As always: You saved me a lot of work. A big thank you!
I watched a couple of your videos and I'm impressed by the amazing perspectives you guys provide. It helped me understand how Canada is, for an immigrant of different culture than just mine (indian/ south asian) and yes the perception is totally different coz the indian and russian societies are worlds apart. Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you for the kind words James. Let us know if you think we could improve somewhere!
Thank you, I am a new subscriber. Happy New Year! Your video content will be very helpful if/when we visit anywhere with very cold conditions or when SE Michigan gets very cold again (like last week!). Similar content helped me pack for Christmas week in Chicago during very cold temperatures and wind. 🌬️❄️🥶😁❤️ Excellent explanations about reasons behind what styles and materials to wear and why! I haven't seen a video like that before now!
One of my best clothing items I wore for the first time this past week in Chicago (temps well below 0°F with very low wind chill temperatures!) Eddie Bauer fleece-lined/ windbreaker outer layer pants. Lightweight and very warm! 😁
Such an extensive video! Really comprehensive. Well done, yet again
Thank you Sachin, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you so much that finally I found this video it's been a long time that I been frozen when get winter outside and I don't know what kind of winter clothes to wear I thought all winter jackets are the same. Thank you so much. More Blessed
This video is well done. Thank you! I have shared this with my network. Hopefully, it will inspire more folks from the US to venture to Canada in the winter. I intend to head to Winterlude in February 2024.
Very good videos! Thanks for these accurate and light hearted videos. Keep up the good work! :)
You are very welcome! Stay warm!
This video was very comprehensive ! thank you. And I love your vibe, it's super cute! :)

Thank you Jennifer! All the best in your journey
Your information is very helpful and your moves on ice are smooth too.
Thank you!
practical stuff, thanks!
You are very welcome!
Down coats are the lightest current insulating material we have. That is why down summit suits are used to summit Everest and other 8000 meter peaks; if you want warm and light go down. I really hope that was just a gaff and they dont actually think down is heavier.
That’s right
Is there a brand you recommend ?
@@ThoseDaysMovie arcteryx, Rab, Mountain hardware, Outdoorvitals all make light good down products.
I have been on a hunt for an informative video, thanks a lot guyss
glad we could help!
Thank you so much for this video, I’m planning to move to Canada but I’m from a tropical country, we don’t experience winter here. I really appreciate your tips 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Nice video guys, I learned a lot especially its our 1st winter here in Canada
Glad to hear it! Hope you enjoy your first winter here!
Buy in the spring or summer months , great savings on winter parkas at that time . Enjoyed your video .
Great tip!
Thank you for watching 😊
Best Winter boots are Pajar , a bit expensive , a goor pair of leather and shearling interior boots can cost upto $ 500-700 ,it's definitely worth it and will last you for many years to come.
As for winter jackets,it all depends on your Budget, if you can splash some money,i highly recommend a Canada goose ,Mackage,Northface or Kanuk and if you can afford a Moncler then by all means do go for it 😉 but be ready to splash 2,000-3000 dollars.
Yes , i ageee you can get much cheaper jackets but the quality and material can't be compared to what I've mentioned.
And for Sweaters or jumpers the best is fleece or Cashmere.
Winter clothes can be very expensive especially if you want to look stylish as well !
love ❤ you're videos,both of you are gorgeous 😍
Thank you A A! Fantastic summary! Good quality jacket is totally worth it. My Canada goose lasted me for good 8 years and I’m sure I could have kept it for longer.

Thanks for the video. I am from Yakutsk and our winters are very cold but dry without wind. Here we dress a bit differently and we use more fur.
Sending warm hello to Yakutsk! Would be great if you shared more details about how you stay warm out there! Thanks in advance!
You covered more than enough. I guess I am spending the rest of the day watching your videos and share
Thank you for watching! Stay warm 😊
Interesting and educational, much love from Africa 😍

Glad it was!
Preferring taking care of health over looking good to some strangers. A very good advice.
Thank you for this useful video....
Thank you for watching!
A very informative video🖒
In Scotland, we normally call a toque a tammy. You see them everywhere in winter. Definitely the most popular kind. You see them with and without pompoms on top. My mum knitted mine with Aran patterns. Great for keeping you warm! That and a long scarf that can keep the neck and face warm and even provide some coverage in your core!
Hi! You two are awsome🥰
You’re awesome 🤩
Great informational video 👍
Glad you think so, Freddy!

Glove liners, wool or even synthetic are also essential. Like body layering for your hands.
Great point!
Loved the video. I have the same shoes 🤩🤩⛄⛄

Love those mini dances 😄😄

halo.. would you tell me what was the type of yellow TNF you were wearing? nice video btw
Very useful video...
Glad you like it !
Great video as per usual.
As someone who is used to dramatic temperature change in Ontario I prefer layering.
The best way I have found to do this is with a hoodie.
Of course alternatively if you live in Toronto you could just get an Apartment in an Apartment complex connected to PATH.
Then never have to go outside.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(Toronto)
Or drive you car from your garage to a parking complex connected to PATH.
Montreal has something similar.
Thank you Tom! the underground city surely helps a lot in avoiding the cold, that does require you to live more central than many people though.
@@MakeThatChange
Very True.
I just think that you have a city plaqued by snowfall every year. Which finds a practical way to deal with the problem.
Then despite the fact it’s constantly expanding and growing. It seems fewer and fewer people know about it.
Personally speaking. If we are talking a trip outside to get the mail or take the garbage out.
It has to be below negative ten before I consider wearing something more than shorts and a T shirt outside.
Now that’s a short trip outside. No snow or ice on the ground. Just cold out.
My point is temperature doesn’t really bother me.
Most people however don’t realize that snow/water is dangerous to the body when it comes to cold.
This is due to the fact that the body try’s to warm anything touching it.
So all it takes is for one snowballs worth of snow to get under your coat.
Your body melts the snow , turning into water. Which saturates any clothing under your coat.
Your body will then effectively try to heat that wetness.
What people also don’t realize is this can happen with excessive sweat. So it’s good to bundle up if your going out to be physical. But you need to be practical about it. Sometimes in these cases less is more.
In either case afterwards. Get indoors and set anything wet out to dry if your going back out.
Say your going for a coffee, or to a friends place.
Geese get me started.
Will get off my soap box now.
Be well. Be safe.

Another time winter clothing tends to be on sale is in January and February. I got some insulated boots from Pajar for 30% off, and my Helly Hansen parka for 40% off.

Cool info
Glad you enjoyed it
This is so good! Thank you so much! I want to invest in a pair of insulated waterproof pants, my legs are ALWAYS cold even with thermals. You're inspiring me! But will I look silly?
Not at all! Staying warm is more important than how you look! If you do want your pants looks a bit more formal you could invest in a pair of Arcteryx pants. They look more formal; almost like trousers. ☺️
Lmao y’all too funny 😂 Great video !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi! Do you have any recommendations about good boots for winter and icy roads? any brands in mind?
Loved it ❤❤ btw are you twins 😮😮
Hi can I know what model is the orange jacket at 1:50 ?
The fur actually does help. It’s why indigenous communities used it. It literally stops the wind from hitting your face. Fake or not. Fur on your jacket is a wind break for your face. Let’s not project wrong information.
I'm creating a playlist with videos about Canada only, I have the dream to leve there in a few years. This video is absolutely going to be part o my Playlist. It is so full os useful information! The work you guys put in your videos is pretty awesome.
Good luck to you bro! I wish I live in Canada in next few years like you
Best of luck to you! What's your plan so far?
@@MakeThatChange I'm 21 and about to finish college here in Brazil, I have a job outside my field of expertise, i don't make lots of money but i'm saving basicaly it all to my canada plan. I hope to get a better job and in a few years, when i have anough money and more work experience, aply to the express entry programe. Little by little i'll get there 😊
@@yesthepedro9068 wishing you all the best in this! Sounds like you’ve got a good vision for what’s next 😌
@@andrewshka226 It should be pretty easy for you to get here, if you're in Russia. I'm Canadian in central BC, and I live closer to the eastern tip of Siberia than to Toronto! Looking at this on a globe really opened my naked eyes!😲😳👁👁😍
We moved to Mexico to escape winter
Great video

Amazing! Hope you have a wonderful winter there 🤗
@@MakeThatChange What do you think about Russian war in Ukraine?
I love the way you explain things . Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Sending love back 🤗
Informative thank you! What do you think about Cargo pants with fleece?
they can be a great option, especially if you have some underpants like man tights or leggings. Otherwise, the cargo pants are wide, and that means there is lots of cold air floating between the garment and your body - your goal is to trap air, so you want to optimize for clothes that are closer to your skin.
@@MakeThatChange thank you for your reply. 1 thing that I have noticed is that if I am fully covered I might feel warm but if start brisk walking longer distance I feel super hot and sweat, which is not good if the temperature is below -10. Do you face such a challenge, how do you cope up with it?
I've been using my Kanuk coat for 23 years just wearing the coat itself with no layers protects me to -20 each layer you add is 5 degrees of protection.
Cold in Ontario, would that be Toronto where they call the army in during a snow storm.
Now is the time to buy winter clothes as it is on sale and you can get great deals 👍🙂
That's true! Thank you for this great tip 😊
What winter coat / jacket BRAND do you wear in Siberia??
Actually people can get sick from too warm, or overheating when they dress for outside then go inside for too long - you start sweating. And when you go back outside you are now cold and damp. I take my coat off in a grocery store for example, I always use a cart to put everything in even if I am only getting a couple of things. Then dress back up before going back out.
I also use ear bags from marks and then a torque, double the ear protection and keeps the torque in place.
A good pair of mitten gloves work well as your fingers can heat each other but you can just expose your fingers or just one when needed. Best ones are woollen - church Christmas fairs have home knitted ones that are really good. If you are really lucky you can get a pair that goes up the forearm. Knitted socks are great too.
Don’t forget sunglasses, sun blindness is a thing.
great post! Thank you for sharing
Come to yellowknife you will have fun here but you need more layers of clothes.
You're both are lovely🍒
You’re lovely! 🐝
I agree totally about the long coat. If my kidneys get cold that's it.
What is the jacket model at 1:20? I am wondering if I can wear a tshirt, that as an inner layer, and a thin leather jacket down to temperature of like 0C.

Grew up in Siberia and you moved to Canada. I thought you would’ve moved to Florida!😯
You’d be surprised. GTA is much warmer than Siberia, almost feels like Florida 😂

Thank you🫶🏻
Hi, for someone landing during peak winters (around -30°c).. Could you please suggest if the winter coat and gloves from Decathlon can work as it is available outside Canada as well and purchasing in Canada on landing in winters might not be possible?
Yes, winter clothes from Decathlon will work, you can check temperature ratings with shop assistants
I recommend that you invest in a good winter parka ( A branded one). It will last forever. I have been using one for 7 years. It is in very good condition just like newly bought. I dont feel like 6 to 7 yrs have run ehen i look at the coat. The coat has no damages. I use dry cleaning. I bought it for 700 to 800 USD. So, i recommend buying a expensive good one. Its worth the spending
What do you think about arcteryx?
Great brand, if you can afford it. Will last years!
I'm in Canada ontario now. Need to know where to get woolen mittens
Have you checked Smartwool? The name of the brand says for itself.
isnt the opposit of what you said here 0:55 ? down filling is lighter than synthetic actually, or no ?
You are correct, down is lighter and weight-for-weight it's is warmer unless down becomes wet
How about using heated (battery-operated) clothings? Would you recommend?
It's unnecessary, its not THAT cold and you won't be exposed to such low temperatures for long times 😊
@@MakeThatChange I would be coming from a tropical country where I already feel a bit uncomfortable in 24deg celsius. With a bit more cold, I already feel some headache and sneezing. Im thinking heated clothings would help but also worried about if it's manageable to always wear one, or would I be jeopardizing my own body in its process of acclimization or if there are any dangers in using them that I didn't know of. Btw, thank you so much for an excellent video. All your content are top-notch too! 👌🏻
@@pamilyasoriano2015as a Canadian it’s not that serious & if it does get that serious the news tells you to stay inside
We are from Mumbai India and its warm ,the temperature hardly dips below 20 degrees and the normal temperature is around 31 to 35 degrees centigrade .
You are from Russia therefore you are aware of the cold winter and how to handle it .
The knowledge that you have passed on is very useful .
I have a question ,
Does cold conditions in Toronto ever cause depression
especially if one comes from a hot country?
Of you wear such layers of clothing isn't the body deprived of the sunlight as such during winters in Canada, rarely do you see the sun and cause Vit D deficiency.
In my opinion lack of sunlight can cause some depression, that's why some people claim Vancouver can be very depressing in winter with grey skies most of the time. Toronto has a lot of sunny days throughout the year. By the way, you can google the number of sunny days if you're curious to learn more.
As for vitamin D, your face and hands will absorb quite enough, no need to worry. Or you can take vitamins if you feel like you need to.
P.s. Anna is from Siberia and she's never had vitamin D deficiency, even though winter in her home town lasts for 6 months. But since it's sunny it's enough to absorb sunlight with face.
@@MakeThatChange She is Anna an European from Siberia ,We are Asian from India and that too from Mumbai and pure vegetarian by diet .
We have so much sunlight in India ,I feel blessed that we have so much sun in India and when I was in Toronto for five days , The winter and the snow and staying indoors was making me sick .
My son was alone and is still single .
He is improving and has started on line lessons for mba with Schulich busines school York Uni.
He is shy of girls and still keeps distance
I told him to hello you all but did not ,😀
So no one is gonna mention the electrifying dance moves in this video?
You're too kind ❤️
Hi, is it possible to drive a bike at -30°
Yes, if you have the right gear - winter tires and warm wind proof clothes for instance
Looking at these girls at first sight I supposed, that red-haired girl comes from Russia nevertheless she lives in Canada and speaks English fluently. So it is. She describes her childhood in Siberia, Russia :)
Both of us are from former Soviet countries ☺️
Is it possible to wear a short sleeved under a wsrm winter coat?
Yes, but we would not recommend it for hygienic purposes. Ideally you want to at least have a moisture wicking layer between your body( and arms) and the coat. The thing is if you end up sweating a lot; you’d have to wash your coat more often - it is easier to wash a thin sleeved shirt than a whole jacket. Hope this helps
@@MakeThatChange
Short socks under jeans or under long skirt without tights possible even if very cold?
Longer socks is always better! You’ll stay more warm!

Thanks for the video, but it is important to mention that it is a myth that human beings lose heat through their heads.

Winter is not a problem for people who migrate to Canada to get out of misery in their counties.
Winter is also not a problem if you enjoy it or can buy a ticket to central or south America or Carribean to spend winter there 😊
