Please do consider doing a review for your down jackets.. 650 and the 850 one… There isn’t a single decent review for that…!!!
As noted below, that she goes pantless in the winter is pretty badass, but not for beginners. Also, for men, I’d advise against it in general.
What exactly was that light fleece? My R2 seems too long and may go back.
Nice and concise. Thank u!
You did some great work on the edit. Can I ask what you use?
So, no pants?
Hi, I have some trouble knowing when I go from worm to sweat. If I sweat I get a little cold and then I need to cover up and then more sweat. Is it just me?
Thanks, Trail Flea….
Can you make a video on hypothermia and hyperthermia please?
Very good. I know about hiking on the trail. And wearing layers that wick away moisture from the skin and keeping warm. I’m an old hiker.
What about pants!?!?
I hike in the forest in winter with my kids and we are alway warm
Personal favs: Patagonia thermal base layer, Darn Tough wool socks, Eddie Bauer First Ascent windproof pants, Kuhl thin wool shirt, Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer down jacket, Outdoor Reasearch Helium II rain jacket (and pants if needed), 2 wool buffs (one for neck seal around the jacket, one for the face), a wool beanie, and Marmot waterproof snow gloves. Add in Julbo photochromatic sunglasses to protect the eyes against snow glare, and Keen snow boots (if needed, or Altra Lone Peak 3.5 trail runners if not). With that, I’m good down to around 0 Fahrenheit when moving unless the wind is truly awful.
Great ideas and delivered well.
I like to wear a thick woolen pullover. Breathes really good!
Hiking pantless?
Offensive
What about a baklava, in case we get hungry on the trail!
naturally youd pick an afro american woman to tell us about the outdoors and snow. BW ha ah ah
No one discusses pants in layering systems . Think of all those cold tooshies.
