Head covering is also important, especially at night. Wear a stocking cap at night to help keep you warm.
Equipment:
Sleeping bags appropriate for the temperature.
Add an exterior liner for additional warmth and especially for down bags to prevent them from getting wet.
Rain gear, again appropriate for your area.
Tent that will provide sufficient weather protection.
Sleeping pad or mattress with sufficient thermal protection
