After you have successfully added the winter jacket to your Inventory, you will be able to use it whenever you need to warm your body.

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.
