winter clothing
for those of you who live in states that dip below 70 degrees in the winter ( like me in MinneSNOWta )
what do you dress like to stay warm?
i have a carhart "artic weather" jacket, that ive never been happier with. ill wear a flannel and a t-shirt underneath that, plus long underwear when it gets REALLY cold.
as for boots i have these Rocky, ???deer stalkers??? very light and extremely warm.
im just curious as to how you all bundle up

A sweatshirt and Carhart on top, jeans and high-top hiking boots on the bottom, and a leather Henschel Hat Co. for my noggin. Winter doesn't bring much snow here, just ****-cold winds and black ice, so this does the trick.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 19-Oct-02 AT 04:02 AM (EST)]Thermals!
Thinsulate or silk thermals & turtlenecks under my normal fall/winter clothing.
Didn't Good Ole Joe Namath market the warmth of "silk"??? hehehe
Nor. Calif. only gets down to 26-28 in the winter in a cold year..not counting the windchill while pheasant hunting! Kinda brings tears to your eyes.
Jeez! Was that a chukar I think I saw? What Do Ya Mean....COVER YOU??? I CAN'T SEE you!!! BRRRRRRR

Dosen't get to bad here in Virginia, last year was downright mild. We work outside all day, probably much like yourself, we generally don't quit until its dark. I wear Rockies also, I don't which unit though, they just say Rocky on the soles and in a triangle on the side, but these are the best boots I've had. The soles are almost worn thru after three years, but the goretex still keeps me warm. T-shirt, (short sleeve), then a long-sleeve T-shirt, followed by a flannel, then my Carhart over top. Usually wear jeans only, when it gets below 40, I start using thermals on my legs. Never liked hats, and with the tremendous amount of walking we do, stocking caps are to much. I just use a thing I got from the skate shop, it is like a headband, made of fleece, covers my ears, leaving the top to vent. Still looking for a real good pair of gloves though. Any ideas??? Of course warm is a factor, but I need dexterity for all my button pushing, and maybe some kind of texture, almost everything I use is metal or wood thats smooth in finish. Still searching for a good pair, but I use some they sell at the hardware store here. Blair

i have 2 carhartt winter hats, very comfortable, warm, and fit in your pocket.
for gloves ( when hunting )i like those thin one-size fits all, black stretchy gloves UNDER my blaze orange gloves that transform from mittens to the gloves where your fingers stick out of the end. that way they are very moveable, and stay warm.

For a coat the only 1 to wear is the M65 field jacket w/ liner. Other than that,long underwear,& anything I can find made of wool, especially socks. My boots are Wolverines w/ 1000 gram thinsulate. Lets not forget the hat,leather shell bomber w/ sheepskin lining, the ear flaps hook on top or fold down & hook under your chin. Guaranteed to keep your noggin warm & scare the neighbor's kids. Usually wear the mil spec. gloves w/ wool liners or ECWS mittens. My wife hates it when my hands are cold.

I have been in Michigan my whole life (44 years) and I guess the cold doesn't get to me much. I wear jeans, insulated work boots, heavy flannel shirts, and I carry a Carhart style work jacket with me, but I only put it on if I am going to be in the elements for an extended time.
Now, snowmobiling is a different question. Arctic Cat 2-piece nylon jacket with the liner removed and Thinsulate insulated bibs. Leather gloves with Thinsulate, and Arctic Cat boots. Just like toast!!
115 miles per hour and not a shiver!!

Duofold thermal tops under dickies heaveyduty flannel shirt Carhartt thermal hooded sweatshirt under Carhartt contractors jacket. I wear flannel lined jeans made by LL bean, thermal socks and Timberline boots. I would like some suggestions on a real good waterproof and warm boot that I can work with. I've tried Herman's,redwings, chippawar's Timberline's but I'm not really satisfied.
