the wind chill is what im worried about.



Layer up, cover all skin.

I can deal with zero degree weather, but 35, rain and wind is miserable. Just cover all skin, wear layers and you will never get cold.

You don't have to buy expensive high tech stuff. I wear kirkland (costco) base layers and socks and they are as good or better quality than stuff twice the price. You don't have to worry about moisture up there so its not going to be too bad.

Find out what everyone else is wearing for outer wear and go with that. If it works for them, it will probably work for you. I don't wear anything more than a fleece as a top layer here 90% of the time.

wear layers


People say this all the time but what does it really mean? How the frick can you wear clothes without layering?? If are gonna wear an undershirt, sweater, and overcoat, how in the hell can you wear all that WITHOUT layering? Nobody in their right mind would wear one layer in those temps.

I may be missing it but it always peeves me when someone says this. If you can tell/show me how to wear clothes without layering I would love to see it.
