Winter Gear

Even the strongest adventurers can't ignore the weather, especially when it starts to become really cold with the beginning winter, or when exploring regions that are naturally cold, like the poles or high mountains. To survive in such conditions, Winter Gear is needed, to keep the traveler warm. Note, that the trade-off is, that they do not protect from blows, meaning they have no armour rating.

Such gear usually is made from animals with good fur, and generally consists of these three parts:
 * A fur cap, which keeps the head warm.
 * A thick cloak, which can be wrapped around the body.
 * Fur boots, which prevent damage to the feet.

In Ultima VII Part Two, the Avatar and the party needed winter gear to actually enter the Northern Regions of the Serpent Isle, as this part of the land was frozen over and the cold temperatures would have killed them in mere minutes.

Trivia

 * The Helm of Light also keeps the head of the wearer warm, thus replacing a fur cap.
 * It is not advised to wear a gwani cloak around the Gwanis, as this will offend them.
 * In Ultima VII Part Two, cloaks have a defensive value of 2.
