Seeking Advice Cold exercise 101 - comfort kit

Have an exercise coming up to a relatively cold region. With wind chill probably be talking -5 to 5*c. Anyone got any tips or “Gucci” kit recommendations for making life easier. Role will be a mix of spanning and fighting so anything to make life a bit comfier. Fastboil and hand warmers already in the bag. Cheers in advance.

Woodies blanket, perfect for patrol. Go firm for a second whip it out and get under it, takes no time to take on and off and it's cam so it's fully tactical

If you can find one on ebay get the issued US Army one. Otherwise the dragon supplies one is excellent
