Favorite Winter duds

[LC/LR4Life]

So what's your favorite duds for autumn and winter months. North Face fleece here is a staple for me. Cabelas and LL Bean popular as well.

Anyone used the Cabelas Berber Fleece line?

[DaktariEd]

Usually a cotton t-shirt and maybe a long sleeve LL Bean "chamois" shirt...if it's really cold (45˚) :D

In (burning) SoCal right now it isn't really cold in the winter here..... however I do get into the mountains a fair amount so I know what "cold" means.

In cold weather I need a few days to acclimate. I like long sleeve zip neck tops that I can adjust to vent for physical activity. My favorite next layer is a Mountain Hardwear vest using Gore Windstopper. It protects me from chilly breezes but I won't overheat. I usually wear lightweight long pants, hiking/cargo style with pockets and made of synthetic. For colder weather I have pants made of Scholler extreme fabric; very breathable, water repellent and tough. Sometimes I'll use a fleece hat and thin polypro gloves.

I also have a Arcteryx jacket (Gamma MX hoody) that uses Polartec Powershield fleece. A killer jacket, good for anything but rain, very breathable and wind resistant. I like having a hood to pull up instead of a hat as i don't like to get the back of my neck chilled. That jacket took a beating on Denali and it just won't wear out.

Ed beat me to it, but some shorts and a t-shirt work really well for winter here.

Further North, it's either Filson, Carhartt, or Spyder all the way.

Call me a sucker for the mountain lifestyle, but I have recently taken a liking to the Cloudveil (http://www.cloudveil.com)lineup

My three season coat is a Cabela's Goretex Northern Lite - and for the moderately cold weather we see occasionally, upper teens/low twenties, I use a 300 series fleece under it. It's warm without bulk, and water/wind proof to boot.

But, for the really cold weather I break out my favorites - Minnietonka shearling slippers and a pile of wood for the stove :)

I have some nice gear from mountain hardware, but lately I've been wearing a cheap walmart fleece over carhart unlined bibs. I spend a lot of time under the jeep, so there's no sense ruining anything good.:) edit: also polypro undies and t-shirt b/c sweat dries quicker

[Clark White]

Carhart canvas jacket/overalls, LL Bean wool shirt, fleece lined jeans, thick wool socks, and Carhart boots. If it gets too cold for that combo, I also have an LL Bean wool w/fleece lined sweater. Also, the usual assortment of wool hats/scarves/gloves, etc. And if it gets too cold for all that.......someplace with a hot drink, my girl friend/other friends, a fireplace, and good food.

It varies depending on the activity and weather conditions.

San Diego is a bone chilling 83 degrees right now...


So I would have to say my winter garb is my favorite board shorts, flip~flops and a tank!

So to those that have snow :oops:

[bigreen505]

Fleece hoodies. If it is really cold Dale sweaters.

I picked up a pair of these Cabela's fleece pants tonight and they might be the warmest article of clothing I own. A little too warm for a 40 degree walk around the neighborhood.

Carharts for work, but my favorite are my Cabela's Windstopper sweaters. Man those things are toasty and often all I need if the temps stay above the 20s.

[Lost Canadian]

I have various MEC articles, shirts, pants, long underwear, hat, gloves etc, I really like MEC stuff. My Canada Goose parka, and Baffin winter boots are pulled out on really cold days.

There was a thread about legendary gear - perhaps this goes better there...

My Arc-Teryx Theta AR shell - worth every over priced penny.

The AMAZING Mountain Hardware Compressor - I have been in a t-shirt and 08 degree temps with wind howling off the Whittier, Alaska coast and this jacket was all I needed. Unzip it and it's light weight makes it the perfect grab and go jacket up to the high 30's

[lowenbrau]

I wear a polar fleece jacket for most of the winter here and toss a Carhartt chore coat over it if it gets colder than -10C. It doesn't happen often but I have a down filled coat I'll wear if the mercury drops below -25C.

Oh I have a theta AR but dont get to wear it much, though it doubles as a pricey rain jacket.

Just noticed this thread for the first time. I usually rock some REI fleece pants under my Spyder coaching bibs with Patagonia capilene (don't tell spyder) under at least two other layers of spyder fleece and another light layer (depending on how cold) with a spyder out layer jacket (either an insulator, parka, or when really cold, down jacket). Also a thin and thicker pair of Smart Wool socks and I can usually last out the worse of the windy and -30 to -40 weather for 7-8 hours at a time. No exposed skin kiddies!:victory: Also by layering up, I can shed layers and adjust with changing weather and/or physical exertion.

Here's an example of a -30F day, top of Lake Louise, Alberta

or sometimes when my luggage gets lost at the Munich airport, I end up rocking some street clothes and whatever jacket was in my carry on! ha ha
