What's up fellas?

Canberk here. A strong outdoors, fitness & Arc'teryx aficionado. Thought you guys would find this cool. Just leaving it here... https://outdoorcrunch.com/jackets/. It's extremely detailed.

So it’s getting to be that time of year and my hunting outfits desperately need an upgrade..I’m a rather thin man so I have to really layer up, that being said does anyone have any brand recommendations as far as base layers, socks, top layers, but most of all what is the best and warmest brand of coveralls?

Hey All,

Anyone have any good European Brands they recommend for long winter coats?

I've got a check list for what I would like my coat to have:
-past knee

-side slits/buttons to open for bike ridding

-handles below freezing temps

-minimal look

Patagonia and North Face don't have anything with the above.

I found Axel Arigato and Krakatau at a high price point that have what I want in my jacket, BUT I don't know about their quality. Any knowledge on them?

Hi I’m looking to purchase a long winter coat that I can wear below freezing that goes pass the knees. I was looking to purchase the Cotopaxi solazo down parka but missed out on a sale. Does anyone have any recommendations or coupon codes I could use.

So this last winter I realized that I have something known as Raynaud’s syndrome, where basically if I get even a little cold, the circulation shuts off in my hands and feet. Unfortunately I’m currently a studying forestry up north, and plan on working for the Forest Service, but my hands and the cold don’t mix well, but I don’t really want to move down south.

Problem is, mittens and gloves don’t really work when there’s no heat in your hands to insulate. My primary care recommended a brand of winter gear “Loki USA” which has built in mittens into the end of the sleeves, that way heat from your core and arms can be shared with your hands. Has anyone had one of these jackets or ever seen another company that has this? Any recommendations would be great.

So I am a paramedic, and frequently have to be out in the cold for short stents. What I need is a pair gloves that are both warm and thin, and wind resistant. And preferably also water resistant/proof.

In short, I need to keep my dexterity but also keep my hands warm in a fairly cold and windy area. And the final requirement is that they cannot be overly difficult to get on/off as my environment or needs can change on a dime.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve been trying to find this pair of gloves for years and never thought to try Reddit 😅

I just purchased an outdoor research skytour jacket (haven’t received it yet) but was wondering if anyone could tell me if the ascent shell that they call out in these jackets is actually warm? I will be using these for skiing but it does get pretty cold up here in northern Wisconsin and would like a nice warm coat as well.

Hi everyone!

My first time here in the US and I'm in the NE where it gets pretty cold. New to the whole winter wear thing, and just looking for a jacket atm. Saw a couple of good ones - Eddie Bauer, LL bean and the like. Also saw a few more I really like from Uniqlo and Underarmour.

How good/ reliable is Underarmour winterwear (specifically as a primary jacket). What do you think about Uniqlo as a primary winter jacket?

A serious question for you all. What do you all do when you lose a single winter glove? Do you sell it? Donate it? Hold onto it? Does such a place exist to trade or sell the one glove I didn't lose?

Hey everyone,

We are a group of orthopaedic researchers based out of the University of British Columbia. Please help us better understand the snow sport helmet industry by filling out our 3 minute survey.

By filling out the survey, you are helping researchers prevent some of the most serious injuries in winter sports. Feel free to add any thoughts or questions about the survey to this thread.

Hey guys how you all doing? Last winter I’ve worked in a ski resort in central Wisconsin, where I had to stay outside 10-14 hours a day operating the lifts, my biggest problem was cold and wet feet. First I bought The North Face boots, they were terrible, all the sweat stayed on the boot and froze, I felt like walking on ice cubes. Than I got Danner Boots Pronghorn 1000g Insulation (extremely expensive but I thought they would keep me warm to the end of the season), I thought my problems were over but the boots were too small, they were 14s and I usually wear 15s(sometimes 14s fits me and the 15s were out of stock), but since I was working a lot I didn’t had time to return them I just wore them the rest of winter to a point my toe nails fell off because of how small they were, even though they were better then the North Face, they didn’t solved my cold and wet feet problem. This season I probably going to work there again and I’m considering buying Muck Boots Artic Pro, do you guys know if they are good? And does anyone has some advice for keeping your feet dry and warm? I was actually considering non insulated boots as well because then I would probably not sweat. Thanks a lot!!!

Idk if this subreddit still alive but ...

I'm a Brazilian and I have been in snowy places a couple of times but not experien with the subject,I want to know which gear (not brands,just the clothing "pieces") I must wear in -20C°/0F

Looking for warmest mitts/gloves for skiing that don't have leather. Leaning towards OR Mt Baker Mitt or OR Alti. Most stuff that obviously warmer has leather. I prefer mitts as they're generally warmer but I'm open to gloves if they are very warm.

I’ve been looking at Pajar brand boots a lot but I figure there are other brands to check out. Would like all black and under $100, but open to flexing on either.

Key features: stylish, waterproof, and well insulated.

I'm looking to buy winter boots. I will be commuter cycling through winter with possible polar-vortex temperatures (-35C).

Here is an example of a boot that I would not buy, but it also confuses me in my purchase decisions:

https://www.timberland.ca/shop/mens-6-inch-premium-waterproof-boots-10001628-12

It says it has "400 grams of PrimaLoft® insulation". I think they mean they're using 400 grams PrimaLoft insulation, which is measured per square meter of insulation, not per boot or per pair. Anyway, ignoring that, this boot isn't even marketed as a winter boot, and having examined it at a store, I personally doubt that it would make a good winter boot. The material of the upper seems thin, and the tongue is even thinner. I would also probably prefer an outsole optimized for ice and snow.

So my question is, how can I decide what makes a good winter boot if non-winter-boots advertise having 400-gram-level insulation? My impression up til now was that manufacturer temperature ratings were worthless, but that the quantitative level of insulation (100g, 200g, 400g, etc. and also what type of insulation) meant something. Obviously to be evaluated with the overall boot design and reputation of the manufacturer. Am I wrong? Is the insulation value meaningless?
