Will be going to central asia next winter and wondering what the best jacket is for temps that can get down to -30C. Does anyone have an opinion or should I just fork it out for a north face jacket that looks like shit. Will be tracking animals so can't be too bright or flashy. Any recs?
Get a Mongolian deel when you get there. You’ll be stylish as fuck
>>2863591USAF N3B would work and can be found cheap.The key isn’t in the coat but rather in the layering and moisture management. Sweat from moving will chill/freeze so don’t be afraid to remove/add layers as needed. To do this cheap, thrift store merino wool sweaters combined with surplus ECWCS would do fine. Costco makes some good inexpensive wool socks. Surplus colors are also better for your use case.
