It is essential to have a good selection of effective cold-weather clothing, and to understand the effects of water on that clothing.

For example: wet cotton clothes can kill you in the cold (google "cotton kills" or see here for more info http://www.hikingintherockies.com/other/clothing.htm). Wet wool on the other hand, can still insulate to some degree and give you another chance!

I think cold in Sydney and cold in Holland are two separate subjects, hahaha!
