A vacuum is the best insulator, but its use in clothing is impractical. Dry air is a practical insulator. Extreme cold weather clothing uses still dry air to insulate the body, [2] layers of loose air trapping material are most effective. The inner layers should conduct moisture away from the body.

On average, Anchorage receives 16 inches (410 mm) of precipitation a year, with around 75 inches (1.91 m) of snow.
Generation III Extended Cold Weather Clothing System ECWCS levels 7 (left) and 5 (right).
