cold weather gear

[BigNick73]

For boots the Muck Boot Arctic Sport is hard to beat. Plenty warm with a heavy wool sock and not as bulky as baffins. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Muck-...FaY1QgodNU0AFw

For base layers go over to http://www.steepandcheap.com and keep a eye out in the gear cache section. Plenty of under armour, icebreaker, smartwool etc... for cheap compared to normal retail, but expensive compared to wal-mart, there's a reason they cost more and are well worth it.

For hats/ski mask I have yet to find anything warmer than the duluth trading shoremans fleece stuff. They also have a windproof/waterproof work glove that's absolutely kick ass in the winter.

A good base, regular shirt/pants and then carhartt insulated bibs and parka and you're good to -20.
