extreme cold weather gear
 

Alright, I hate to admite it or jinx anything but like it or not, winter is comming. That means cold weather and very cold weather. What do you guys prefer for extreme cold weather gear ? Include everything from parkas to boots to sleeping bags. It is not uncommon to have a hi wind chill with very low temps in winter . Around here -40 C is possible.

Myself, I just love the canadian extreme cold weather parka. it is very wind resistant wich is a plus . I also just love the sorel glacier boots. They fit my feet good and provide great warmth compaired to other boots I tried. Also got my canadian extreme sleeping bag . Just wished a had some type of gortex outer shell for water resistant in snow/ice.

i agree that winter is coming and my company has a winter training package in jan. unfortunatly we never have money for gear that we need to take on the cold so i just buy a bunch of under armor stuff and layer it with my issued gortex and fleece :boohoo

I bought a package deal that included E.C.W.S. booties (socks?) Can anyone please tell me how they are used? Are they worn alone or with other socks for a layer protection? Thanks.

Apparently, now they're meant to be shaken.:D
