An insulated outer layer rated well below freezing, with a hood that closes around the face.
Appears inThe Thing
Felt over a boot dampens footfall on hard ground. Also grips wet rock, which is why anglers use them.
Appears inA Quiet Place
A pack sized for what you can actually carry for hours, not what fits. Comfort under load beats capacity.
Appears inAvengers: DoomsdayWorld War Z
Blocks light in both directions and adds real thermal insulation to a window.
Appears in30 Days of Night
Seals gaps around doors and windows against fine airborne dust.
Appears inInterstellar
The layer against your skin, moving moisture away from it. Cotton here is the classic mistake.
Appears inSnowpiercer
Keeps identity documents in one place and rated against a stated temperature and duration.
Appears inChildren of Men
Adhesive film that stops light passing a window in either direction.
Appears inBird Box
Rated for freezing conditions. Comfort rating and survival rating are different numbers; read the comfort one.

A layered bag system rated far below freezing, usually a bag inside a bag.
Appears inThe Terror
Sturdy shoes kept where you sleep, for broken glass in the dark.
Appears inSan Andreas
Hooks over a windowsill and unrolls to the ground. Rated by floor height and by weight.

A heater with an oxygen-depletion sensor and tip-over cutoff, designed for enclosed spaces. Ventilation is still required.
Appears inThe Day After Tomorrow
A sealed portable toilet with treatment chemical, for extended indoor use.
Appears inThe Divide
A long cotton wrap for sun, dust and cold nights. One piece of cloth doing four jobs.
Appears inMad Max: Fury Road
Warmest for its weight, and useless once wet. Fill power is the number that matters.
Appears inThe Road
Mittens beat gloves in real cold because fingers share warmth. Dexterity is the price.
Appears inEverest
A brace between the door and the floor, resisting force the lock cannot. Fits inward-opening doors only.
Appears inI Am Legend
A reflective sheet that shades and lowers the temperature beneath it.
Appears inDune
A rigid container that closes properly, so supplies stay where they were put.
Appears inThe Divide
A rated box for papers and drives, tested to a temperature for a stated duration.
Appears inTwister
Ankle support and a membrane that keeps water out. They must be broken in before they are needed, not after.
Appears inThe Last of Us
Waterproof outer layer in a colour that does not announce itself. Taped seams or it is a wind shell.
Appears inChildren of Men
Flameless catalytic heat, lower risk than open flame but still consumes oxygen. Ventilate regardless.
Appears in30 Days of Night
Covers the face against sun and blown grit while still allowing breath.
Appears inDune
Seals the gap under a door against cold air, and against smoke and dust.
Appears inThe Mist
Thick quilted padding for insulation, sound damping or protecting what you move.
Appears inTwister
Blocks light for sleeping when you cannot control the room. Weighs nothing.
Appears inBird Box
The insulating mid-layer between base and shell, which is where most warmth is actually held.
Appears in30 Days of Night
Protects the foot in flooded ground where debris is invisible under the surface.
Appears inThe Impossible
Burns wood in an enclosed firebox with a flue, so heat goes into the room and smoke does not. Flue installation is the hard part.
Appears inDeep Impact
Merino next to the skin: warm when damp, and it resists odour over days of wear.
Appears inThe Grey
A sealed sleeve that traps body heat for a night. Condensation inside is normal and unpleasant.
Appears inThe Thing
Metallised sheets that reflect radiated body heat. Very light, very loud, single use in practice.
Appears inSnowpiercer
A sealed pouch for papers, carried rather than stored.
Appears inThe Impossible
A wedge that sounds if the door moves. Cheap, portable, needs no fitting.
Appears in10 Cloverfield Lane
Heavy polythene for sealing openings, covering damage or making a barrier. Thickness is measured in mil.
Appears inThreads
An instant enclosure for washing or sanitation where there is no room to spare.
Appears inThe Divide
A roll-top bag that keeps contents dry when the outside is not. Roll it three turns or it is just a bag.
Appears inJaws
A hardened shackle that resists cutting. The shackle, not the body, is what gets attacked.
Appears inDawn of the Dead
Shades face, ears and neck — the places sun damage actually accumulates.
Appears inTremors
Insulates when damp, which cotton does not, and resists flame better than synthetics.
Appears inWar of the Worlds
A seat, a liner and a solidifier. Unglamorous, and the alternative is a sanitation problem indoors.
Appears inDawn of the Dead
Single-use exothermic packets, hours of heat in a pocket. They need air to activate.
Appears inSnowpiercer
Traction devices over ordinary boots. The difference between walking and not walking on ice.
Appears inThe Terror
A sealed sleeve that traps body heat. Condensation inside is normal and unpleasant.
Appears in127 Hours
Film and tape that seals a window against draughts and airborne particulates.
