Friends in #iceland , I'm trying to avoid a shopping frenzy. My family will be visiting the last week of #October and we find ourselves buying thermal clothes, merino wool socks, rain-proof pants, boots, etc. Renting seems as expensive as buying. It's this really all necessary if we plan to drive around and see the sights? How do you dress when going out, really?

(We live in northern Germany, will the weather be worse?)

Thanks

@toldtheworld depends on how cold you get, really. If staying in Reykjavík, it’s usually warmer than in the country. I usually wear jeans, normal underwear, but if it’s colder, I’ll just add layers on top (undershirt, long sleeve pullover, flannel, jacket). Get rain pants and a good wind shell and you should be fine.

@samerfarha Thanks! I keep hearing about the rain pants... You mean on top of the jeans rather than dedicated, water-proof pants, right?

@toldtheworld yep! So you can take them off if it gets too hot (plus most rain isn’t biblical and doesn’t need them)
