I've been cold. -14 at sunrise in the workshop this morning, normally I just get stuck in and after half an hours work the internal heat just keeps me warm. Today despite thick wool jumper and 3 fleeces, merino socks, gloves hat I still only lasted till lunchtime either feet or hands would get cold depending on the work I was doing. I had to spend the afternoon at home on paperwork.
I reckon the long sleeved merino top and a greasy breakfast will sort it tomorrow.

Today, I have been mostly wearing...........
Thermal top and long johns,
Army OG Lightweight Trousers
Army Issue Norgie
Overalls
Company Branded Fleece Jacket
I'm unable to use anything other than latex gloves for hand protection in the field, which is the only place I'm feeling the cold at present.

Sounds like you could do with a woodburner in there Robin, plenty of fuel scraps laying about I bet
Problem is I like to work with the big barn doors open, don't like being shut indoors. -5 is fine when you're working, -10 is sort of OK but much below I begin to struggle. Too much clothing and as soon as I start working hard everything gets too hot and sweaty.

2x cotton hoodies
one padded hoody check shirt thingy

I'm going oldskool/lowbudget
I wear a longsleeve shirt with a fleecejacket from decathlon and on top a standard issue Dutch military coat from the '80's.
Pants are standard issue too from the same vintage and if it gets really cold I will wear long johns, too.
A pair of wollen socks with Jahti jakt boots, thin woolen gloves with German army combat gloves and a woolen "jeep drivers"-hat and I'm a warm, happy camper.
In heavy snow I wear a German army goretex raincoat, possibly a Jahti broardrimmed hunters' hat, too.
I must admit that temperatures did not drop below -8 though.

i tend to be wearing my usual clothes really, just more of them. no fancy kit for me im afraid!
just a couple of t shirts, a jumper or norweigan shirt and if its snowing i just put on a waterproof just so the snow doesn't melt and get me wet. normal trousers or chainsaw protective ones at work. wooly socks are essential.
when im working i seem to still be just in t shirts, i get too hot otherwhise. i guess this is what you get when you have an outdoors job. when i stop i usually put on another layer or if we are at the yard retreat to the room with the wood burning stove, bliss.
