  David I. asked:

  Does anyone have any good information on what kind of clothes work the best for prolonged periods of time in the cold? need advice on a good set of clothes including good shoes and a jacket.

  What kind of cold are we talking about? How much moving around will you be doing? In Antarctica, they give you thick, heavy-duty parkas (these to be exact: http://www.antarcticconnection.com/products/102-Men's/1986-Canada-Goose-Expedition-Parka---Mens/) to wear, but I only wore it when I was going to be doing a lot of sitting around and the weather was bad. Most other days I wore a couple layered fleeces with a windbreaker outer layer, because I was hiking a lot and I would get too warm otherwise. The point is, I would suggest layers, layers, layers. That way you can add or remove things as needed. On top: Long underwear + a fleece or two + a good fluffy (down if you can get it) waterproof outer layer with a warm, lined hood. On the bottom, long underwear (fleece if it's going to be really cold, i.e., <0-10 deg), plus waterproof, warm snow pants. In terms of shoes, I wouldn't go with a minimalist shoe for the cold. Sorel makes a lot of really great waterproof, cold-proof winter boots (like this: http://www.sorel.com/mens-caribou-action-boot-NM1967.html). And don't forget WOOL socks. Smartwool makes the BEST winter socks. In all things, remember that waterproof or at least water-resistant outer layers are your best friend. Cotton is not a great fabric in the cold (no jeans, t-shirts, etc.), so stick with synthetics or wool whenever possible. Sorry this is a novel...I'm just trying to cover as many bases as possible.
