Hands: Lobster Gloves. Good to -20C.
Feet: 2 prs socks. I use a layer of polypro and a layer of wool. Don't squeeze your
feet. If you do, you will cut circulation and defeat the purpose. Then the shoes, then
an over-sock of heavy wool with a hole cut for the cleat, then neoprene booties. Good
to -20C.

Coldest--Patagonia
Colder--Mec thermal, I agree about them being odourous
Cold--HH, never tried a week straight but......
Final, lots of good stuff out there. My problem is hands and feets. Any
suggestions?
