Thinsulate is good and light. Redwing has some insulated lace up boots with Thinsulate. They have fiberglass shanks and fiberglass toes instead of steel -- supposed to be safer for electricians.
I think the Wrangler jeans with Thinsulate in them are awesome. It's warmer than long johns and regular jeans. Wool socks, with a silk under sock is the answer for warm feet. Some people just use thin tight socks as the first layer, but the two layers is the answer. Thinsulate gloves are the best going. A pair of tight goatskin or deer skin gloves will give you some dexterity. Use a larger pair of gloves with Thinsulate in them over them when you don't need the dexterity. I don't mind the cold. Wind and wind blown snow are my bane. Mike At 01:07 AM 12/7/2009, you wrote: >It's cold. I spent all day and most of the night working on a tower and my >feet are frozen.
