How To Equip

While the players will be able to obtain the winter jacket from the very first day, it is recommended that they collect other important items first.

The location of the item is quite far from all the spawn points in the Sons Of The Forest.
Therefore, you will cross a lot of enemies when you are making your way to that location.
Without proper equipment, you won’t be able to face cannibals and other enemies in case you have not collected weapons and armor.
So before you go on and collect the winter jacket, it is important to get items that will help you in defense against the enemies.

Uses Of The Winter Jacket

Following are some of the users of the winter jacket and why it is a must-have item in your Inventory:

There are many clothing items that you will come across in Sons Of The Forest. However, the winter jacket provides the most protection against the weather.
The jacket is insulated and weatherproof, so it won’t only be your defense against the cold weather but will also help you survive in windy areas.
It is great for protection against rain as well, therefore increasing your survivability in different environments.

It has amazing warmth, so start looking for that, which can help you out a lot in freezing temperatures.

The only drawback of the jacket is that you will have to remove other clothing items to use it.
