How to dress for wind speed 35 km/h.
At this wind level, heat loss is driven more by airflow than by temperature alone.
Your outer layer matters, but so does fit: loose cuffs, open collars, and a poor hood seal can undo good fabrics.
Dress for gusts, not just average wind speed, especially in open streets, parks, and waterfront areas.
On exposed routes, upgrade wind protection before you feel cold, not after.
What to wear
- Use an outer layer that blocks wind reliably.
- Protect neck, wrists, and ears first; these zones cool fast.
- Add one extra warm layer when wind exposure is prolonged.
What to avoid
- Planning by temperature only.
- Using highly air-permeable outer fabrics in exposed areas.
- Leaving hood, collar, or cuffs unadjusted.
Checklist
- Compare sustained wind with gust values.
- Upgrade protection if your route is open or elevated.
- Test hood and cuff fit before heading out.
