I bought my Gallatin Range pants big so I can put on a pair of Swiss army wool pants underneath. A ragg sweater over a couple merino layers under my wool coat and a scarf and I’m pretty good. The weak link is the toes. I hear that Uggs or the Bearpaw version are the ticket. My Sorel pack boots work well until it gets in the low teens, then it’s tough to last long. I use glomitts with pop tops with good success for my fingers. the way, Grumpy, how can anyone who watches South Park be grumpy? Dwc
I use polypropylene sock liners with Lorpen Heat Trap socks when it’s REALLY cold out. The liners keep your feet bone-dry which is the key to warm feet. I’ll use the liners with just regular wool socks when the temps are above 20F. When I take my socks off, the wool will be damp from sweat, but the liners and my feet will be completely dry.
