I used to wear a pair of old ski pants (the kind that have a sort of bib & braces over the shoulders), a full ski jacket and woollen beanie - and this is in the blue mountains west of sydney.

The benefit was that at night in -6 degrees I was still so toasty and also so well padded that I could lie on the ground and have a snooze for 30 mins and not feel cold while waiting for a camera to take a shot. This was obviously in the days of film...

The trouble with thermal underwear is putting it on when you arrive at the observing site, and taking it off to drive home...
