re: Cold weather gear

Please listen to advice given regarding NOT using jeans. When wet, cotton doesn't insulate. Weather there can drop 40 or more degrees within an hour. It you are caught out in it without the right gear you will die. Moisture wicking thermals next to skin, and toplayer of wool are your best choices. Outdoorsmen in CO, WY, MT, etc will tell you cotton kills. Once wet its useless keeping you warm. Again take heed, people get lost hiking when a blizzard hits and its a white out. Be prepared or risk your life.

I use merino wool, usually Minus 33. But I just ordered some Black Ovis and Badlands. Badlands is still doing 50% off anything on their site with the code. Have quite a bit of their clothing now that I got it all 50% off.

And you're right if the weather is wet and cold - for sure. "Cotton kills" and I did say jeans.

Absolutely. Wool and synthetics continue to insulate, even when wet. Down is the BEST insulator dry and offers no insulation at all when wet, for example.
