Okay ladies and gentlemen....
I have a trip in two weeks that will take me into some pretty cold climates. We're looking at temps right now at around -13 for low and a high of about 5 degrees.
Of course two weeks can drastically change the temps, but I need to be prepared. I have been in -13 degree weather before but it was dry and windy. We are going to Michigan and it's wet and blowing lake effect snow where we are heading.
I have a balaclava, gloves, layered coats, etc. My question is what kind of pants?? I have flannel lined jeans, but I know jeans being made of cotton are not the best as they can wick up moisture and snow sticks to them easily.
We are going to be walking through some snow covered properties, so snow could be as much as knee deep in some places!
Waterproof snow pants? If so, what do you wear under those??? Jeans?
