I thought it was only fitting to adorn the title of today’s post with the icon of the month! My heart was warmed by scores of alcids today! I stuck with pretty much the layer formula that works for me:
- Eddie Bauer duffel coat (below the knee 650 down parka)
- Faux fur hat with ear flaps and chin strap
- Cape May whale watch & research center buff (represent!)
- Down knee-length vest
- Heaviest smart wool base layer
- Outdoor fleece-lined leggings (Avalanche)
- Arctic muck boots
- Weather-proof gloves
- Hand warmers
- Costa sunglasses
This time I tried my heated socks, but the battery on one of them is faulty, and the other didn’t last the whole day. So, I’m going back to my Comrad wool compression socks; they did the job last time so I shouldn’t have veered. Also, I’m going to look for cold weather convertible mitten gloves next time.
