I had no idea cotton jackets worked well in really cold weather. Now in mixed rain and snow, I'd want my modern raingear.

Yes, my anorak shell is red denim <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> it is *NOT* worn in mixed rain and snow. my winters are cold and while
snowy, are dry and cold. it is not the type of deep wet snow you'll find in the BC interior or on the coast.

[quote] I must confess though, why anyone would want to be out in -20C or colder is beyond me.


Because the alternative is going to the mall <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> , and besides, no such thing as bad weather amigo - only weather you aren't dressed for. Particularly when I go to work at 8 AM (and it's DARK) and I come home at
3:30 or 4 (and it's still DARK) going out and spending a day under bright blue sky and deep cold is wonderful - topped off by retiring with a good book and a candle lantern, and a nice nip of scotch.. what more do ya need? (other than a biiig pee bottle because the nights can be a bit long <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )
