what is it winter in the south side of earth? It's summer here in northern quebec. w00t.
Last winter I got so pissed of the -40 celcius winter that I bought a canada goose expedition parka. Best winter coat I ever bought.
That thing is so awesome, even when it's -20 out, you can actually get too hot if you do any exercise. I don't freeze anymore during the winter now.
I bought a pair of their tundra bib overalls also, and their extreme northern mitts (which they dont seem to make anymore, probably because they were too warm).
The mitts are so warm, even walking at -20 celcius is too warm. The bib overall is awesomely warm also.
And, I got some -100 boots also. LOVE those.
With just the parka and the boots, winter now isnt so cold anymore. LOVE it.
1000 for the coat, 800 for the pants, 200 for the boots, 300 for the mitts. best 2300$ I ever spent.
With all the kit, you can stand still all day at -40 and not be cold. My wife says that I look like a north pole adventurer. I don't care. I am warm when everyone else is freezing.
With -100 boots that get up to your knees, it's not cold anymore, and I don't care if 2 feet of snow have fallen during the night, I can just get to my jeep and it's not cold anymore.
