Don't know the name of the belts and suspenders, but the outer layers definitely need suspenders. Thinking about replacing my boots with hide moccasins from "Lure of the North Outfitters" and use their liners. Noticed that static position at -20 to -30 celcius wasn't warm, but not cold enough for frostbite when it came to my boot setup. Tried making my own snow shoes, but they always turn wonky and very irritating for long usage.
>>2847312I like the lacrosse alphaburly pro I think it isI want to try the ventlite Gtx but at $400 a pair I never end up buying them
>>2847347I bought the plain AlphaBurly, and the sole started to delaminate on the very surface. I got a second pair on warranty. Turns out I need a larger size, so I'm trying to decide what brand to go with. I don't need insulation, since I can wear wool socks and wear these boots in warm months. I'm debating on Mucks as well.
Currently, I have a Smartwool neck gaiters, but it's too small. I'm thinking about getting a Sitka neck gaiter, which seems to fit better, but I'm not sure. Any advice on face / neck coverings?
>>2847321Where do you live and what are you up to? Genuinely curious. That setup seems like it’s ready for super low temps
>>2847369I'm planning on hiking the Norwegian-Swedish border and heading up north as much as possible given the weather, starting from our biggest lake Vänern. I expect my journey to start at the end of February.>>2847365Different anon here. I like Dutch neck warmers, plenty of cheap surplus.Alternatives:>Jan Steen Dutch Wool Scarf>Ministerie Van Defensie Dutch Merino Scarf>Weatherwool Neck gaitor (expensive)>Varg Clothes U Vargön Fat Wool Tube>Holebrook Vallvik neck tube
>>2847363That happened to me too. I can’t remember if lacrosse or muck was the company that got bought out by rocky recently but it seems that’s when the issues with the sole started
>>2847486LaCrosse and Danner are now one company. I don't know about any Rocky merger.
First Lite used to make an incredible pair of fingerless wool gloves. They are incredibly warm, comfortable, and a good fit. They just came out with a new model, having discontinued the old one. I sure hope the new ones are decent. In the meantime, I'm trying out some gloves from Amazon. First pair was a big miss.
