Smartwool® Men's Wool Base Layers is a bit pricey aka $$$ for one piece but what is really worth it is:

It's Merino Wool.. Aka better then cotton, dries quick and feels like you are being hugged gently.

Do the 100% Merino don't cheap out. It will last decades if you take care of it.

heated jackets

>>1727685
How do you guys wear these expensive coats and not worry about ruining them? Can any recommend a cheap one that would fit a skinny guy? I looked at Walmart but all their stuff is for fat people.

Also about to get one without the hood

>>1730818
Check goodwill, you might luck out and get a carhartt or something like that

>>1729769
I've been wondering what the warmest carhartt jacket is and I've been using the J133 artic lining jackets, but are the Sherpas warmer than that?

>stealth Carhartt shill thread
Shut it down

I work around Cambridge Bay. Northern Nunavut.

Hood has a rigid loop that allows you to keep it up and away from your face even in the wind. The real fur on the hood helps keep the blowing snow from freezing to your face and gluing your skin to the coat.

Also they're very long and very, very heavy. Elastics everywhere to stop the wind. They're literally called Resolute jackets.

>>1731649
I'm not cool with all the shit that happens in the fur trade, but real fur shits all over most alternatives in this kind of application.

>>1731641
I hope its shilling, if not /diy/ is filled with a bunch of fat fucks.

After living in michigan’s UP for many years I have developed the ability to more or less ignore the cold. As long as I keep my extremities are kept warm I’m not effected by low temps. People didn’t believe me until I spent hours working outside in the winter in shorts and a T-shirt without a problem last year. Medical science should study me.

polyester sweatpants, sweatshirt; excellent warmth, cheap, good wicking properties to keep moisture/sweat controlled

polyester liner-socks for moisture control and maintaining heat pending on shoe, and/or bulkier merino-wool socks also for moisture control, and excellent warmth if wearing roomier shoes. place hand-warmer under toes in roomy boots for long-hour warmth, maintain blood-flow thru feet

regular outer-wear over top of previously mentioned; work pants, flannel, polyester beanie, jacket where needed.

used to wear merino-wool base-layer pants & shirt, sometimes in addition to polyester sweats- highly recommended; very warm due to being sheep wool, warm even if wet due to being an animal hair, doesn't get smelly like plastic-fiber clothes.

>>1727712
as a part time sailor i can only say: Helly Hansen sucks ass for harsh weather. I would even go so far as to accuse the company of ripping off their unsuspecting customers with sub-par craftsmanship simply because they know they have a huge market exposure and people re going to buy non the less. There are endless alternatives that offer far better quality for a similar price.

Head to Toe:
Helmet: Kask Zentih PL Combo
Torso over: Pfanner Nachsucher Arborist Jacket
Torso under: MTP Tactical Longsleeve Cut Resistant
Pants: Pfanner Gladiator II Chainstopper
Boots: Meindl Airstream Rock

if temps are sub -20°C: another polyester fleece under the jacket.

We have to wear proper shirts with a tie because we're "customer facing employees". We keep petitioning management to let us wear polo shirts like the cool kids but they keep telling us to fuck off.

two t-shirts under a longlseeve pullover under a button up with a hood under a zup up hoodie under a heavy barncoat with insulated bibs on (the bibs and barncoat come off when I actuall need to move). With a class hree reflective vest over it all

Normally a polo and a zip up fleece jacket, the walk from my truck to my office can get cold! If I plan on getting dirty I throw on a lab coat before I head to the shop.

Guys, i need FR cold weather gear, super gave us $500 on the ca/rd to spend.
What Should i get?

I grew up in PA but I'm in North Carolina so it never gets absurdly cold, but if its snow type weather I wear this hoodie thats got like sheep fur inside it, and then a northface millerton. Works amazingly well. Used to deliver pizza in PA wearing that during blizzards, never had a problem.

The rain jacket keeps the warm air in. It'll keep you suprisingly warm. Suprised more people don't do this. Sometimes wear a long sleeve. Its nice to have layers, so if you sweat, you can take off the hoodie and just use the longsleeve and raincoat.

If you are wearing a big buffy coat that weighs like a million pounds you are doing it wrong unless you are trying to survive antarctica.

>>1737207
Longsleeve/sheepskin hoodie/rain jacket. Or else you are noobin it. Only the pros do this method.

>>1737214

Yes, anon. Sheep have fur. Like other fur-bearing animals, their skin can be tanned with the fur left on and used to make "fur" clothing.

Do you like them? I love my pairs... Need more because socks get lost in the home but they stand up to everyday use. Had mine for five years so far and the three pairs I have are good as new. Still cushiony and stretchy and warm.

>>1738570

Why the humber on my referenced post scratched out with a line?

>>1736589
Kek. Reminds me of HS, they sold a bunch of these “Save Darfur” t-shirts and had a day we could wear those instead of the regular uniform, so I cut out a piece of white tape and stuck it on there in attempts to “Save Darfun” and the righteous faggots weren’t very happy.

I’m so edgy.

>>1736583
The management was bullshitting us for months before saying “we spent all this money on Under Armour for you guys!” and I knew they weren’t going to spend money on brand name. They ended up getting real UA brand name nice polos for one of the departments (and they look nice, not safety yellow) but our shit is some random ass company because we’re in the warehouse and yard sometimes.

I do like the zip up sweater we got, it’s like Gore Tex, but that safety yellow gets dirty in 15min so I can’t even wear it more than two mornings going into work. I wish I got the option for a second one of those instead of this ultra heavy winter coat I will never use unless I transfer to a location in Minnesota. The PET material isn’t too bad, it’s better than our prior safety polos that were made from the same shit they make heavy hockey jerseys from, but the material isn’t very stretchy so it’s hard getting in the sweater and long sleeves sometimes.
