id take that any day over this
there’s not many positive aspects about living in California but the weather is something that nobody will be able to take away
that said though
I unironically want worse weather here so I have an excuse to wear gear
wow lol
I have all these nice jackets in my closet and it has been 75 and sunny for like 8 months
Only cali weather problems here are fires
Which sometimes warrant gear as the police fuck off, last year they didn't do much reporting on it
But when the cops fucked off the dregs of LA county came to socal scoping houses like a damn christmas light drive thru
Its only in the 30s at night so far so my work layering is t shirt thinnish hoodie and a north face outer shell
I have 2 skin tight layers i use, i will wear them both if its cold enough.
A medium weight merino wool layer
And a sort of microflece layer
After that its shirt (maybe) flece and shell if needed.
Getting good boots, socks and sock liners are a must. I stepped in a frozen sink hole and soaked my boots last year, but my Darn Tough socks, liners and Herman Suvivors kept my feet toasty.
Gaiters are good if you are walking through snow.
The only thing i add come deep winter is a thermal base layer a big jacket n a beanie
Same deal when not at work except the clothing is nicer
It doesn’t get excessively cold here, but we get a lot of slush and rain and bullshit, so I wear goretex boots and wool socks every day
who makes a good merino wool
Darn Tough, Icebreaker
cause it doesnt get under like
40 f here

ok <@&558119990725705748>
yergo do you have recommendations
When it gets under 0F for the one week it does, it’s base layers and balaclava with an M65 and liner
Also a huge factor is if you are moving or not. If you are sitting motionless in a blind you need more.
But mostly it’s a heavy fleece with a rain/wind shell
im walking through the cold and wind daily
>listening to a floridian for cold weather gear advice
@keef the cotton hoodie i got from mcdonald observatory in the trans-pecos
