If not a proprietary secret, I would be interested in knowing the make and model of the clothes you wear to stay warm during your long, cold flights.. I'm especially interested in knowing how you keep your lower legs and feet warm.


I am using good wicking long johns, shirt and pants, down bib overalls, down jacket, and outer shell along with down-filled camp boots with electric insoles, two pairs of thick wool socks, and one 18-hour chemical heater in each boot. Put the chemical heaters outside the socks as they can be too effective if you get stuck at low altitude. A challenge with warm boots is finding a pair with soles that are not too large to fit on the rudder pedals. In warm season wave I rarely turn on the insoles. I also have warm gloves and a warm hat.
Bottom line: Your feet are the most difficult extremity to keep warm. Any good ski or snowmobile suit should work for the rest of the body.
Soar Safe, Have Fun, and Go Fast ... wave flying when comfortably warm is awesome.
