We recommend you pack up your warm winter gear for Montréal in February. If you have insulated boots, thermal layers, and a heavy winter coat that can handle snow and freezing temperatures it's smart to bring them. Don't forget gloves, a warm hat, and a scarf. Rain is likely on several days, so bring a good rain jacket. Expect water temperatures of around 3°C (37°F), which is definitely too cold for comfortable swimming. Your luggage space is better used for other items. It won't hurt to bring your sunglasses along, as you'll see some sunny periods.
