Winter Clothing (0°f to
30°F) I have used this insulation level to 7°F so
far and been fine. At that point I'm wearing everything I carry. The left
picture is the insulation, the right is how I wear it - with the rain gear
on top as a barrier to wind and rain. I look like a hiker ninja. |

Description |
2.1 |
Polypropylene hat |
Polypropylene tube that can be made into a
hat, balaclava, neck warmer, etc. |
3.5 |
Army wool
trigger finger mittens |
Not the lightest set of mittens, but damn warm,
especially when combined with the OR rain mittens. The bonus is that you
still have some dexterity if you need it. |
3.4 |
Thorlo Light Hiker Socks |
Thicker socks to use in cold weather. At this
level, I only wear the socks in camp, when walking my feet stay warm enough.
Liners on bottom, Thorlos next, and Seal Skinz on top inside my shoes. |
10.4 |
Army Field Jacket Liner |
Tough rip-stop
nylon shell is quilted with polyester fiber batting interior for warmth. Sew
up the armpit holes, sew the front to the second button, add a top button,
and put some velcro between the top of your new seam and the top button to
make a poor man's pullover for about $5-$10. |
8.9 |
Army Field Pants liners |
Tough rip-stop
nylon shell is quilted with polyester fiber batting interior for warmth.
Same thing as the Army Field Jacket Liner. I don't need the pants as often
as I need the jacket. |
