Recently, I relocated from a fairly warm spot to a place that can get pretty darn cold. I found myself climbing antennas with temperatures in the 5 below to 15 degree range. I quickly found out that 5 below with 10 knots of wind can be challenging to say the least. (yes, I was spoiled before)
Putting on more layers kept me warm, but made climbing more difficult. So last night I borrowed a set of Mountain Hardwear fleece w/ Gore Windstopper and took them for a spin on my local object.
What a difference. Thin...and since it's impermeable to the wind, they were super warm. Expedition-weight poly-pro, mountain hardwear, and an old set of shell pants and jacket were all that was needed to stay toasty warm and mobile.
I know this isn't new info to the world -- just thought I would pass it on.
C-ya,
