How do you stay warm in sub freezing weather?

[Missourian]

Other than wear warm boots, wool socks and layers...what are your tips and tricks to stay warm outside.

Here is one of mine. Whether it's a ski mask, balaclava, or neck gaiter as soon as it gets wet from the condensation of vapor in your breath it becomes uncomfortable.

To solve this, I bought one of those airsoft/paintball mesh mask that I wear under a neck gaiter.

Mine looks like this.



I think it was $12 and came with some gogles.

Another thing is Carhartt mittens. You can work in them and they keep your hands warmer than gloves.

It looks like a muzzle with a kind of skeleton vibe...

They sure are proud of 'em.

Must work though...might have to spring for 'em.

Had one pair of thin socks and two pair of wool socks plus plastic bags on in winter boots today and still couldn't keep my feet warm.

It was the cheapest one I could find. You don't see it under gaiter. Works great if you've got to be outside below 10 degrees.

I would build a fire next to the job or just freeze.

I stay in Queensland but when in the UK at Avesbury it was so cold it was like pins going into my skin, so I just left and went back to our then home in London.

Depends on why I'm out in the cold, but if I'm out there I'm ususually doing something.

Drastic measures usually call for this...

But...on the chance that you're gonna warm up and start sweating and need to shed layers, I go for these...

Don't like working in gloves, so hands stay cold.

Good socks and quality boots help matters.

And a thermos full of soup.

These are good to keep around...

I don't like gloves so I put one in each pocket for whenever I wanna warm up my hands for a minute.


Don't put em under your nuts, though. And don't ask me how I know that...
