Bearskin coat or Bearskin bed roll?

[Vision]

I've had a pretty giddy week - two bears, a moose, AND a food prepper's cache (first one I've found in Mystery Lake).. so I am ready to do something with the bear skins (moose hide not quite cured yet) but not sure which one is more usable. I'm thinking of going with the bedroll. Just because the coat is so heavy. The Bearskin bedroll is still 2 kg over the regular bedroll, though, iirc. Is it that much warmer?

What would/did you choose?

The bearskin coat has a good chance of scaring the wolves away about 30% of the time...

Coat. It gives +6C/+5 all the time, toughest armor and a scare chance. It also weights only 3.75 kg when worn.

I like both of these.

Coat, it's simple math. The bear coat with the cloth bedroll is WAY warmer than the bear bedroll with the best cloth coat.

bear coat is 18% in protection moose cloak is 25% so bear coat is not the toughest "armour"

You are right, but it has very poor warth/windproof stats though. OP talked about warmth, so I pointed at highest protection bonus amongst all warm clothes. Sorry if I mislead in some way.

Great! Ok I think I'll go for the coat first, and make a moose satchel. There will always be more skins to try the others. Eventually. If I'm lucky and still alive. :D

Huh, I always go bearoll, wolfcoat/skijacket. I've been away from the game for a while, but iirc the bearoll is +12C.

Anyway, in my experience, the Loper clothes I wear are all crafted clothing (haven't looked at the rahat), ski jacket, jeans, thermals, muffs, satchel. You'll never be impervious to the cold on Loper, but this outfit is more than warm enough to not cause issues that you won't *still* have with a few more Cs of protection. My philosophy in TLD is keep it light and keep it movin'.

Plus.

Sleeping in the above outfit with a bearoll in good shape means sleeping in the back of a cave with no fire is no problem, yes, even in a blizzard. That bearoll is 7C higher.

Don't feel like having to kill even MORE bears to maintain both a bearoll and coat.

Sounds like 16% of protection... 50% of not winning the wolf fight... too risky imo

I never ever craft a coat. The bedroll is good for keeping in a fish shack to be able to sleep when it's colder and avoid CF. The only fur coat I craft is the wolf. Otherwise, except in interloper, you can find better coats with much less stamina penalties. In an ideal world, two expedition parkas. If expedition parkas can't be obtained, two wolf coats. They still scare wolves some, stamina penalty is manageable.
