I'm all about wool and cotton as my winter system! Started off at -5˚F, with a wool t-shirt and thin wool long sleeve under my Ventile jacket. Topped out at 20˚F over the course of 8 hours of biking, snowshoeing, and running.
Head: wool balaclava and/or possum hat, ventile hood Hands: Fox River extra thick mitts and Army surplus trigger gloves (cotton and leather), but too constricting, so will be replaced to allow for circulation). Feed: Steger Arctic Mukluks. Wool liners and inserts, leather boot, cotton canvas upper. High level aerobic activity for 8 hours. Came back dry and warm and happy! You can see most of it here, after the 2-mile section I call the "Icebox" because it really holds the cold air (scroll left and right for other pics). http://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/12278089596/ With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
