Warm and dry - the tried and tested thread  (40 Posts)
BrianButterfield Tue 04-Dec-12 08:25:34  There's been lots of
threads over the winters from people looking for gear to keep
them warm and dry in horrible weather, so I thought we could do
with a place to share recommendations of the things we've
bought, loved and hated.  Merrell Haven: LOVE. Worth every
penny. Keeps me unbelievably warm in icy weather, wind proof and
not too bulky. Downside is that it's almost 100% waterproof but
not quite - it lets water in at the elbows. It fits snugly but I
like that.  Karrimor snow quilt snowboots - not tried them in
actual snow yet but they're very warm and snug. No toe chill
even in freezing weathe. Will report back in case of actual
snow.  dexter73 Tue 04-Dec-12 11:30:46  Merrell Oslos - very
warm but not completely waterproof when it is lashing it down.
