[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 764064, member: 13921"] I wear Danner 200 gram thinsulate boots and last year, I bought the expensive, but thin winter weight socks. I never, ever thought I would spend $10 for a pair of socks, let alone 6 pair. My feet have never been so warm and comfortable. I have 2 pair of Danners to that I can rotate and let them dry out completely before I wear them again. My set up works well to about 0, below that, I have a pair of 1000 gram thinsulate boots. They are bulkier, but very warm when it is that cold. I second the thingys that go from neck gaiter to hood. I have several. The heaviest one is too heavy to wear in all but the coldest temps, the lightweight ones are perfect when running resis. Last winter, I started wearing a pair of thin shooting gloves under my winter gloves. That was another thumbs up. Last winter, my worst day was a day that my heater quit working. I put all my layers on and did not get cold till I was almost done. The day could have been alot worse. Also, when you take your break, drink warm water. Not coffee. Hot chocolate is not bad, but can have caffeine, which is really bad. My hardest time in the winter is when it gets warmer. I eat a lot of calories in the winter and it is really hard to cut back.
