Friends from southern China, Harbin’s winters are extremely cold—choosing the right clothing is key to enjoying your trip. Today I’ll share the layering method from inner to outer layers, so you can stay warm during Harbin’s winter.
Base Layers: Warm & Breathable
Base layers must be warm and breathable. Cotton or wool base layers are great options—they wick away sweat and keep your body dry. Cotton base layers are skin-friendly and comfortable; wool base layers offer better warmth to fight the cold. If you’re worried about not being warm enough, you can also choose fleece-lined base layers. Ice City Warm Sun has various styles of base layers to meet different needs.
Mid Layers: Boost Insulation
Mid layers can be sweaters or fleece jackets. Sweaters provide excellent warmth and come in various styles—thick ones add significant insulation. Fleece jackets are lightweight, warm, and breathable, making them a great choice if you enjoy sports. Ice City Warm Sun also offers a wide range of mid layers with complete sizes. If the size you choose doesn’t fit, you can contact customer service for an exchange before shipment, though a delivery fee for the exchange may apply; if the order has already been shipped, it’s recommended to receive it first and then go through the reorder and return process.
Outer Layers: Windproof & Waterproof
Outer layers are crucial—they need to be windproof and waterproof. Down jackets are the top choice; those filled with goose down or duck down provide exceptional warmth. When selecting a down jacket, pay attention to the down fill weight and down content—the higher these values, the better the warmth. Ski jackets are also a good option, as they are not only warm but also perfect for activities in snowy areas. Ice City Warm Sun offers rental services for down jackets and ski jackets, with packages including 2-piece, 5-piece, and 12-piece sets. You can operate via our mini-program: first select the rental period, then choose a pickup method, including in-store pickup, same-city delivery, pickup at airport storage points, and mail delivery to other cities—very convenient.
Other Accessories: All-Round Warmth
In addition to clothing, hats, gloves, scarves, and snow boots are essential. Hats should cover your ears—leifeng hats (Ushanka-style hats) are very practical; gloves should be waterproof and warm, and touchscreen gloves let you take photos and post on WeChat Moments easily; scarves protect your neck from cold; snow boots should be non-slip to ensure safe walking on icy and snowy surfaces. Ice City Warm Sun also sells these accessories, and you can purchase them according to your needs.
