Yeah. I really need to purchase some high quality cold weather clothing. I
need to find something that doesn't require that I bundle enough to lose
mobility (except perhaps for having someone roll me down the ramp
{8^).


Here's what I wear -- it doesn't slow me down.

1. Normal underwear and socks.

2. Thermal underwear (I use waffle, but serious types prefer silk, I
think) and heavy work socks.

3. Regular pants and shirt, and sometimes a cotton sweater.

4. Boots, jacket, hat, mitts, scarf.

As soon as I'm sitting in the plane out of the wind, I take off the
jacket, hat, mitts, and scarf, but I keep them close to hand. The
extra thermal layer hardly bothers me at all, but it makes all the
difference.


All the best,


David
