HA!
Where I’m from the best trout fishing is usually from November until it gets too cold for the fish (it never gets too cold for the fishermen).
Not to mention bluefin fishing throughout the winter…

Spray your feet with an antiperspirant (not one that contains deodorant). This will help with your feet sweating and giving you that “cold” feeling.

Top; waterproof hoodie of any kind (Grey or blue for sightfishing) and a thermal tshirt (few Columbia ones) and a knit hat. Gloves too while I’m running the Boat.
Bottom; I’m sure their is a better way but, carhartt khaki pants, I’ll wear PJs underneath if it’s really chilly. And Sperry’s.
Heat escapes through the head and feet, so keep those warmest!

Originally posted by DFreedomI have some Coldpruf tops and bottoms and some Patagonia Capilene bottoms. I have found with regards to underwear, the better brands (made for hiking and other outdoor activities) are worth the money. They are usually thinner and made of better materials, insulate with less bulk and wick moisture away. I would recommend both of these brands. Very warm and not bulky at all.

Had to reply to this. Got coldpruf top and bottom for Xmas on DFree’s recommendation. Wore them all weekend in NC in the 20 deg weather and they are the bomb. Thanks Doug for the suggestion they are great.

For really cold weather, I stay away from anything with cotton in it. Polyester thermals, wool/poly blend socks, fleece pants or overalls, fleece jacket, then a waterproof layer over all of that.
The more you spend on any of these layers, the better air barrier/breathing you get along with lighter weight.
I hate cotton unless it’s summer. Plus cotton wears out really fast.

Freeze Out is the bomb. It is designed for riding motorcycles in the winter. I bought a complete set on cyclegear.com (on sale) for $60.
