With the cold and snow now upon us, I'm looking for some recommendations on cold-weather gear.
The purpose of this gear would be too keep me warm during various activities-- from trips to the range, trips to the grocery store, to full on hiking through the snow.
I also have a few requirements.
The gear must be as lightweight and unbulky as possible-- big puffy coats are obviously warm, but I'm not a fan of them. Same goes for socks and gloves.
It must also be on the inexpensive or "medium" range of the price scale-- TAD gear might be awesome, and it might fit my requirements, but I don't wear cold gear long enough or frequently enough that I can justify premium prices.
Extra points will be awarded if your suggestion makes me look like an Operator.
Some pieces that I'm specifically interested in:
So, what pieces of cold gear have you guys had success with?
