It isn't really the fur that is perfect for the cold, it's the skin that's underneath. The white coat makes it blend in perfectly with the snow, it is also a very thick, dense coat. It prevents the strong winds from "breaking" the coat and making the Polar Bear cold. The thick skin that is underneath the thick coat of white fur, is black. Whenever there is sunlight, that black skin absorbs the heat made by the sun. The skin is what keeps the bear warm, the fur just reinforces it.
