Staying Warm

[catchNgrease]

I have a set of Refridgiwear that keep me toasty warm. It is made for working in cold conditions like meat processing. I have been using it for about three years and could not be happier.

I looked at their waterproof bibs and backed off them because I was afraid they would be too warm. Reasonable priced stuff.

The clothing options, especially the new stuff, are what everyone I know has gone to. I just moved south. What I wanted to suggest is a stick blind to break the wind. 3 or 4 sticks about 5’ long or so and a cloth barrier set up between you and the wind. Extra socks and gloves are a very good idea. I had a jump suit that I gave away because it was too hot. You couldn’t have it on over 40*. Point is, don’t look at one piece to solve the issue, good quality layers is the answer. They may not be cheap but they last a very long time with little care. I’m still wearing my Walls canvas bibs I bought in the late 90’s. My biggest issue was keeping the wind from blowing up my legs when sitting down. Usually didn’t last over 3 hours when it was cold, less when it was windy. Did best when it was sunny and calm winds. Sure beat cabin fever regardless.

With the quality of clothing that is available now we all can be a little warmer than in the past. For me to try to stay as warm as possible there are two things that are a must for me. I have to have my outer shell whatever it may be it must be windproof. When I say windproof I mean 100 percent windproof. The second thing for me and just as important as the first is I have to have complete head covering which includes the ears and neck. I used to buy the best clothing that I could afford and still get cold but a lot of my clothing was not windproof and I used to fish most often without a hat. I can still be fishing long after most have left now that I have learned what works for me.

Got my vote too, though it makes the trip home a little dicey.

my is stay away from cotton. It doesn't do nothing for ya. Wool keeps its warmth even when wet, and the new blends aren't itchy at all. That being said..my local rural king (terre haute, in or bout an hr or 2 from you lol) has packs (top and bottom) of mens and womens long John's. They're 100% polyester with like a fleece lining for 10$ for the set.
They work good especially for the price.
