The water vapor you exhale will dampen your bag. Instead breathe through a loose-knit scarf or sweater to keep your face warm. Liquid starts to freeze where it meets air, such as at the top of a canteen or water bottle. To avoid frozen bottle caps, store water bottles upside down in the snow. Your feet and seat will be warmer for your effort.
Air movement makes cold temperatures seem even colder.
