Leather armour has been positioned as the counter to cold elements in the game, but as of now, it's not really conveyed within the game that well.
When it was just powder snow, it could be written off as just a cute quirk that knowledgeable people could use, but as the game is more significantly making use of it (which is great, I would love to see the more harsh regions of the game become more difficult without particular gear to encourage tradeoffs on decisions), I think it's time to convey it to the player properly for a first time experience.
You could add an achievement for it of course, or a painting, or have leather in greater quantities in a snowy region, but aside from random chance, it's unlikely that a player would even realise they are being protected from something.
Simply something like frost resistance being displayed when hovering over leather pieces would clue in new players immediately, that it's an aspect of the game that even exists.
