make sure they're breathable, able to vent or expel core temps in active scenarios. Mine consists of a highly breathable and water repelling outer shell. Mid is either a fleece or tech shell (it's kind of non traditional for a tech shell under a hard shell but I like it, freedom of movement is better but you get the friction of fabrics. If you're going covert, the wishy washy sound may not be suitable) My insulator is a synthetic down vest. Base layer is something that is close fitting, coolmax or some other wicking material. Smartwool is good but I don't like the texture personally. One in particular that I recommend but hard to find is an adventure tech Propper base layer. No cotton, x static silver lining, stretch nylon and coolmax, shits the bomb.
Some other things I recommend are balaclava and a synthetic over hat. Nylon gloves with thinsulate and liners, outdoor research makes some top of the line cold weather gloves but I've gotten away with some mechanix cold weather and wool liners. The only thing I haven't covered is feet and legs but that'll come later
