the most key thing to my winter attire is a "head-sokz" brand head/neck warmer. it's basically a scarf and hood all in one. it completely fucking rules, and for some reason nobody I know has one except me. I actually saw them for sale at Sears this year, but other than that haven't really come across many. highly, highly recommended.

my winter gear is normally like this:
winter hat (Chicago Bears circa 70's)
gloves with thinsulate
head-sokz neck/face warming device
hooded sweatshirt + winter coat
Columbia winter boots
Just this week, a couple days ago, I wore this rig for some outdoor walking... about a 15 minute walk each way. According to weather.com, the temp was "10 degrees, feels like -4". Yeah, Fahrenheit. If it was any colder, I would've needed to wear the flannel-lined jeans that only get busted out when it's murderously cold, which is almost never.
get the head-sokz warming dealy. everybody who lives somewhere cold should have one, and it seems like nobody does. WTF?!?!
