The wolf chest piece will also protect from freezing.

My latest play-through I didn't get a wolf head yet so I just made the chest piece first and have a troll cape.

I actually really like the look of the troll cape with the wolf chest as it looks like the fur from the wolf chest becomes like a top neck part of the cape. Gives it a royal looking touch.
