Yeah, that time of year again. Like it or not it's a reality that's coming soon. I'm about at a point where I want/need to start spending a little more on quality winter stuff. So with that, what are you really impressed with, regardless of price?
* Gore jackets?
* Lake shoes, is there any other option? I'm considering boots and platforms when it gets really rough. The booties don't work when it's cooooold.
* I have skiing gloves and they're good, but don't totally do the trick on the road when it gets really cold. I'm considering fingerless skiing gloves. Anyone have other options?
* I remember there was a thread about a particular kind of pants that people like but I don't recall the brand. I know Ryan was a big fan. Wouldn't bibs make more sense than not in the winter.
* I usually go with toe warmers when it gets damn cold. They do just enough to keep my toes from hating me and falling off some days. Just picked up a 30 pack at Costco for $14.
Anything else? Post up the winter gear that you can't live without.
