Snow insulated coveralls

[Egon]

If they were shovelling they were warm!

Today’s clothing for cold weather::
Silk or polypropylene next th the skin. Then comes wool,fleece and/or down. Followed by an outer covering that is breathable but stops the wind. No Cotton or that wonderful Gortex material. Cotton absorbers sweat and gets cold. Gortex collects moisture on the inside that freezes into layers of ice. If you are not exerting yourself and not sweating Gortex will work.

The rate of perspiration can easily be greater than the wick ability of Gortex..

To me, modern outerwear has the texture and appearance of a tarp. I like the older, vintage soft nylon outerwear. I have a new set of modern snow pants and they are crinkly, uncomfortable, and covered with stupid zippers, velcro, straps, pockets and really stupid plastic logos. I wish I hadn't wasted my money. Oh, and you sweat in them.

Carhartt expedition grade bibs and hooded jacket with matching gloves here. Also balaclava full face mask. If I have to be out in it that is. -40F and 30 mph winds are "normal" winters here. Frostbite in minutes if you're caught out while wearing some "cutesy" fashion designer B.S. . Blocking the wind becomes pretty important. If it's not windy (unusual), then it's really not a problem.

It does make me grateful for a heated cab though.

Same here, plus I wear ski goggles too.
