It is narrated from Hazrat Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent an army somewhere. On the way, the season turned cold. When those people returned to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they complained to him about the hardship caused by the severity of the cold. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed them to wipe over their turbans and leather socks.
