cold weather gear

[shanky887614]

Thermal base layer (top and bottom), thin socks and thick socks over top. Work pants and t-shirt, regatta half zip fleece. Wind and waterproof hi vis jacket. CLC framer gloves. If it rains a pair of waterproof over trousers.
Unfortunately the next month is booked up installing new lamp posts and car park lighting.

i got a upower jacket from a sponser on here (or might have been the other side i cant remember)

the coats are great, was out all day in the rain and was bone dry.

the coat dries quick too

Long johns tucked into your socks and a long sleeve thermal top normally does the job. Also, a pair of disposable gloves under your work gloves for outside working. Got the idea off a classmate, works brilliantly.

Better a bit of sweat, than frostbite!

Its my hands that feel it!!! The rest of me is fine, but my hands get ridiculously cold very quickly to the point where the tips are numb.

I have tried all different types of gloves and there just doesn't seem to be anything that allows you to keep them a bit warm (or rather not freezing) but still have a reasonable amount of sensation so that you can do precision work.

The only thing that I have found which allows me to work all day long outside in the winter is using framer gloves, but more importantly (as the tips still go numb) keeping one of these in my pocket Zippo Handwarmer - Chrome: Zippo: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

The zippo handwarmer really does stay hot for hours and its great!

I also got one of these as I wanted to experiment and see which is the best HotRox Electronic handwarmers

I like them both, the hotrox isn't quite as warm as the zippo but its still ok. One in each pocket and I just pop either hand in when I cant feel them anymore!

you do realise that if you were thermal long johns and shirt your hands wont be as bad.

the extremities are the first thing to get cold when your body tries to keep the rest of you warm
