THIS GUIDE ADDRESSES WARMTH RATINGS SEEN IN PS4. IF YOU'D LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE YOUR OWN FINDINGS FOR OTHER SYSTEMS, PLEASE DO IN THE COMMENTS, OR AS A PM TO CORDELIA.
Survival Mode is now a week old, and resources are thin for players looking for a little edge to get them through the even more deadly winters of Skyrim.
This guide started not as a compendium of every warmth rating in the game, but as a personal proof for myself.
I love Hypothermia: Frostfall. When I heard PC players talking about it before I ever thought I could dream of playing on PC, I knew it would be the single most essential mod for my personal experience with the game, and a year or so later when I got the chance to try it out, I was not disappointed. What it brings to the game deepens my immersion, and gives me concrete reasons to treat the environment like another interactive character, rather than a space around which to push my character.
One of the things that aided that experience was the dynamic warmth ratings attached to armor and clothing. As I encountered more outfits and armors in Survival Mode, I started wondering how much diversity there was between the ratings, and set about compiling that information. When it became an archive of every piece of armor I could make available in the game, I figured it was time to share that with everyone else looking for a quick reference about their preferred pieces before they spent the time and resources acquiring them.
Just so we have some vocabulary to work with, I borrowed the warmth categories from Hypothermia. That gives us Standard, Full, and Limited.
Standard is your basic, most widely available rating. It covers everything from Belted Tunics and College Robes, to Ebony, Nightingale, and Wolf armors. And I can't emphasize this enough: ALL FUR ARMOR IS STANDARD WARMTH. Logically, you'd think at least one set would provide full protection, but it doesn't. You are no better off in fur than you are in Tavern Clothes, Thalmor Robes, or Elven Armor. (One set of fur gloves even has a Limited rating, so don't rely on fur to see you through the winter.)
Full grants you the greatest amount of protection, and the list is significantly shorter than that of Standard. Skaal, Stalhrim, and Carved Nordic hang out here.
Limited is probably going to get you killed anywhere but Whiterun and Falkreath. Very short list (which is probably for the best).
Standard Warmth: 27 (body), 18 (head), 13 (hands and feet)
Full Warmth: 54 (body), 29 (head), 24 (hands and feet)
Limited Warmth: Varied, but not in a useful way.
And so, I give to you, the SkyrimForums Survival Mode Guide to Armor Warmth Ratings, starting with an alphabetized list. Expand it and use Ctrl+F or Cmd+F to find the specific armor you're looking for, or scroll down to the individual rating spoilers to narrow down your best options for survival.
Standard Protection (NOTE: All Fur is Standard Protection)
Full Protection
Limited Protection
So there you have it!
Did I miss any armor sets? Do you show warmth ratings in your game that differ from what I've listed here? Let me know if you spot any errors or inconsistencies with your own experiences with Survival Mode so we can make this as accurate as possible. (It's not super useful if it's wrong!)
Did you find this list useful? Lemme know in the comments below, and have fun surviving the intense new challenges ahead.
*Deathbrand: Despite being Stalhrim Light armor (and all Stalhrim has the Full Protection rating), Deathbrand armor only has STANDARD Protection. This is, as far as I can tell, not an error on my end.

So there you have it!
Did I miss any armor sets? Do you show warmth ratings in your game that differ from what I've listed here? Let me know if you spot any errors or inconsistencies with your own experiences with Survival Mode so we can make this as accurate as possible. (It's not super useful if it's wrong!)
Did you find this list useful? Lemme know in the comments below, and have fun surviving the intense new challenges ahead.
*Deathbrand: Despite being Stalhrim Light armor (and all Stalhrim has the Full Protection rating), Deathbrand armor only has STANDARD Protection. This is, as far as I can tell, not an error on my end.
