COLD climate clothing for Fairbanks in Dec.
- Thread starter PandaBear
- Start date
No that's every lady in Hawaii.
What subset of the population did you sample?
4 of them. It's science.
REI has house brand cold weather clothes for pretty good prices compared to Patagonia, Marmot and the other higher priced stuff. Might be worth checking out.
Probably tourist from hot climate. I know some Thai people cannot go anywhere cooler than Hong Kong or Taiwan or they can't tolerate the "cold" weather. Not sure if it is genetics or how they grew up tolerating what climate. They need to stay above 27C or heater time.
Can you see Aurora and Santa Claus in Hawaii?
I plan to stay mostly indoor except when Aurora is out and we will look at it 5-10 mins at a time outdoor, and dog sledding with a professional company. If it is too windy they may cancel it or lend us enough stuff (shoe covering, etc) to make sure we are ok.
Oh.

go to a Eddie Bauer store (try stuff on for proper fit and comfort) , good warm durable clothing, reasonably affordable, also to note multi layers are a must, good boots are a note to consider ,and warm polypropylene socks, and a layer of wool blend over them,,,,and a warm hat,like a wool/Thinsulate blend (keep your face and head warm) & ,snowmobile mittens work fine (keep your wrists warm) ,depending on what you are doing ,,,and always rember ,you can't take off what you don't have on.
I already replied to this but my reply was not helpful. I wanted to demonstrate what I thought may be sufficient for your limited time outside. Here is what I wear when skiing in temperatures down to maybe 15°F. That's at least 10 degrees less cold than what you can expect to find but you will have to stay comfy only for minutes not hours.
Only showing you the upper outer gear. I wear a thinner more comfortable ski mask under the outer one. If it's windy you way want to wear a parka with a fur-lined hood. the fur breaks up the icy wind. Frozen eyelids and noses are not fun. Obviously I'd recommend goggles with clear lenses for nocturnal activities. Get dual-pane goggles with an additional anti-fog coating. A scarf is good. The shell I'm wearing is water and wind-repellent. It has a removable, thick liner. Under that I wear a merino wool sweater, a long-sleeve bamboo t-shirt and mesh underwear under that. Mesh long johns under insulated ski pants. You still want warm boots even if you stay outside only a short time. Two pair of socks, thin inner ones, and thicker outer ones. Gloves, lighter ones under thicker ones. You can take the thick gloves off for a minute and handle your picture taking equipment.

That's a Tusken Raider on Tatooine. They speak Tusken. That's actually some Tunesian local. I thought vavavroom was an example of self-explanatory onomatopoeia

I plugged vavaroom into the elvish translator- this is what the translation was:
rr#7E`Nt^
rr#7E`Nt^ in elvish means " a man who dresses in full costume at Halloween and carries multiple bags to capture the most candies".
60*F
