If you take your hand out of your gloves, do your fingers just immediately fall off?!!

You've been over there what seems to be a longtime. Have you been home any?

Very fast and bundled up. It's not that bad, once you get use to it. You just have to be careful touching any metal that has been outside with a bare hand, that hurts.

Helly Hansen makes great cold weather gear, Carhartt is actually a close 2nd or 3rd and much more durable, it works well in Afghanistan.
