I would say +1 more to HT for a net of +2, and 2 extra HP.

This will give them an average of 15 FP, 13 HP, and you need to inflict 7 or more in actual injury to do a major wound.

Silmarillion also attributes this to their masks worn in battle. Turin Turambar (was it not?) the Black Blade (of Nargothrond?) also withstood Glaurung at some battle because he wore a Dwarven mask.

But temperature tolerance sound fitting anyway :)
