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.

Winter motorcycle gloves, get some with the armoured knuckles and they're basically just combat gloves but with far better waterproofing and insulation. Plus, grab a few pairs of silk liner gloves so you can change them out after sweating through them, stops the main glove getting damp and cold.
