Cold-weather games reward players who layer properly instead of just throwing on one thick jacket. Here's how to build a warm, functional winter loadout using real, in-stock pieces.
Base Layer
Start with a Long-sleeved Shirt "Telnyashka" ($19.80) — a classic striped base layer worn under your uniform, comfortable for everyday wear or as part of a full loadout. This is your foundation layer, worn closest to the skin.
Mid Layer / Uniform
Over your base layer, a dedicated winter uniform adds warmth without adding excess bulk. The VKBO Uniform "Winter" ($276) is styled after Russian military dress and built specifically for colder conditions, available in multiple sizes.
Outer Layer
For the coldest days, add the Uniform "Parka" ($135) — a thicker outdoor suit designed to layer over your base and mid layers for extended cold-weather wear.
Don't Forget Your Extremities
Cold hands and knees end games early. Pair your layers with Gloves "Slight" or Gloves "Rule", and add Kneepads "6B51" for comfort on cold ground.
Putting It Together
Layering — not just buying the thickest single piece — is what actually keeps you warm and mobile through a full day of winter airsoft or milsim. Use our Loadout Builder to plan out your full winter kit, or browse the complete Uniforms collection for more options.
