i find clothings in singapore to be cheaper than in taiwan, fyi.

shop around for thicker clothings in taiwan in nov few years back
seems like prices about the same with Singapore
Unless go to places like guangzhou, then their winter clothings super cheap, $10 can get one already , $20+ can get a very thick one ...

U30 uniqlo confirm cannot... amazon is 1 idea. u probably just need to get 1 good outer shell wind/water proof then the rest layer inside.

with good outershell then in not so cold place u can just reduce inner layer

but U30 u need long johns/good thermal wear liao..

while i dont have experience to travel 1 year i often do solo backpacking trips for 1 - 2 months

i went europe with 6.5kg of carry on luggage only but that was just right before winter (oct period)

I will want something light.
TNF, pantagonia,arcteryx, marmot,etc.
Thermal wear is good choice.
Can grab from online and ship to sg.

Thicker clothing does not mean it will keep you warmer.

The content/composition of materials matter. Goose down and duck down makes a difference. Down and acrylic and wool, etc also makes a difference. Doesn't mean you have a thick cotten jacket, it will make you warmer than a thin goose down jacket.

Yea been looking for goose down. Really hard to find. Canadian goose too expensive. Columbia seems to be cheaper.

yes, there are still cheap deals in china. some clothes are still manufactured there.

taiwan does not make clothings anymore i believe, thus not any cheaper.
