Mountain goats wear a heavy, whit fleecy coat which keeps them snug and warm in cold weather. The shaggy outer layer is made up of guard hairs that may be up to 5-6 inches long that shed both water and snow. Underneath are about 3-4 inches of very fine wool. The undercoat helps to keep their valuable body heat from escaping.
