What are you wearing to keep warm ?

[gregorach]

I know it's cold when I dig out my Helly Hansen 80% wool fibre-pile fleece. I'll know it's really cold if I have to get out my Cirrus Bomber jacket...

(Man, I love my Cirrus jacket, but where did they get that dudely dude for their promo shots? )

One of the sites I monitor had an air temp of -15 at 2pm this afternoon ! It will be a lot colder than that tonight. Today I have been wearing an Icebreaker 200 weight merino vest, brushed flannel shirt, M&S lambswool sweater and Paramo Cascada coat, a cheap thinsulate hat and gloves, Craghoppers lined winter trousers, two pairs of wool socks and a pair of Grubs Hunter neoprene wellies.
The Grubs wellies are great in these conditions, but are far too warm for the rest of the year. I was warm most of the time, but began to feel cold after sitting for 20 minutes hoping to catch sight of an otter, there were plenty of tracks though!

Just back from my parents near the Berwyns. Wife and I walked the dogs on Sunday night and I was wearing a merino baselayer, Pendleton shirt, my new Moufflon hoodie and a primaloft jacket with Devold boiled wool hat, merino long johns and Craghopper trousers. I had merino liner gloves over leather and two pairs of socks under Hunter neoprene wellies.

I was just warm enough, when we got back in it was -15.

That said it was only -1 last night but I was far more uncomfotable in the wind.

When I finally get to Scotland I'll have to get one of those jerkins like Reds.

Fits nicely under tincloth bud - which is now nicely equipped with a recoil pad

 

[Harvestman]

Aldi merino wool baselayer, norgee top, a bodywarmer (various) and a charity shop jacket with a detachable 100% scottish wool liner. Plus silk liner socks and gloves. After dark a cloak as well. And a hat at all times.

Layers are definitely the key.

 

[twisted firestarter]

next time you're passing Tk Max and have an hour spare take a close look through their jumpers... over the past few visits I've found several good merino tops which aren't clearly labeled as such. You'll need to look at the textile label which is usually on the inside bottom left of the garment. The ones I bought were £15 each but they did have one or two chunky sweaters for around £40

Glad to see someone with the cojones to wear a cloak... mine is confined to the woods.

Well i've got my new fave for staying toasty, missus bought me the hillwalker jumper from Woolovers and i'm well happy with it. the patches protect the wear area's and the wool keeps me super warm!
more of them defo on the cards.

 

[Hellz]

I have found my Ullfrotte thermal thermal top under a shaggy Craghoppers fleece has kept me toastie during the cold snap. Wore my Swanndri Mosgiel over the top when out and about.

Ironically the bit I was most grateful for was the cheapest, my new £2.99 Thinsulate hat...

When outdoors, muck boots, alpkit socks, merino smelly helly, lowe alpine long johns, montane extreme smock or rab guide glacier, montane extreme salopettes or some patagonia mountain trousers.

 

[Rabbitsmacker]

not that it was all that cold yesterday, but i had a cotton mix sports type baselayer, army woolly pully, and my garbadine sass smock. Bottoms were quilted outdoor type trousers with peach skin outers from tchibo, wilson socks from matalan and some magnum desert boots. sweated my ding dang do's off and was very pleased with the jumper smock combination. the dog just had his mk1 fur coat on.

British army wool jumper, got it for 50p at Kirkudbright charity shop and never looked back.

I was given a new, unissued police fleece jacket this morning by a friend of mine.

I was so impressed with it I've just bought another one off eBay for the princely sum of £24.99 including delivery.

Being as tall as I am I struggle to find clothes to fit, but this not only fits, it's as warn as toast too.

Seriously heavy Polartec and, at that price, easily replaced as and when required...
