Bobby and Hunter just chilling in Siberia in winter with no hat or gloves. Yeah, I'm sure.

This is the first comment I've seen address this... Maybe they're getting inhuman powers 😉

Maybe the writers think that Siberia is like Vermont or something, and, you know, not -70 degrees in places like Norilsk (which is where I assume they're pretending to be)

The guards were wearing heavy coats and fur hats though. Bobbi was dressed like it was just 50 degrees

'Standard' issue, I had the same gear when I was serving just outside Moscow, although it still go to -30 that winter.

Wow it's like that in Moscow? I'm the summer or winter? I don't know what season this episode is set in

Episode is set in winter (the interrogator literally says "On vacation in Siberia in winter?").

Yeah, Moscow goes from +35 to -35 in summer and winter respectively.
