I go with Varner's approach. The 100mph suit was the last key to the puzzle for me. It killed me to spend the money on it, but it's worth every penny IMHO.

I learned a lot about keeping warm riding a motorbike in the winter. Gerbings are the best in heated clothing. I take my gloves with me in the boat when I really need heat. It works wearing that kinda gear on a bike or in the boat. thumb

Man, I really appreciate the pictures and all of the responses. thumb Coming from Florida originally I'm a little green on the cold weather thing. This helps. I'd feel really stupid asking what some of these items were and now I don't have to ask. I'll be making out a Christmas list and getting some of it early wink
I want to thank everyone for their inputs. I'm still up in the air on boots/shoes. They have to be non-marking as I have a glass interior/no carpet. I don't want to overkill so I'm not sure how much thinsulate to get in them ie 400, 600 1000! Wow, don't think I'd need the 1000 but what do I know. Cheers. fish

Don't do an overkill, especially with fleece. I know your not going to be out on the tundra like Bear Grylls but it's still not good to sweat when you are cold. I get along fine with cheap wally world cotton long johns and an insulated overalls. As long as you don't get your feet wet you should have no problems with them. Anyway it could be 80 on Chistmas day around here.

Over top of all of that I wear a BPS 100 mph suit, for wind and moisture protection, but any type of wind/moisture resistant shells will suffice. Ideally, you would want some type of polypropylene base wear to wick away sweat, especially if it's cold and humid. The whole goal is to create an insulated, loose cocoon around your body to allow your bodies warmth to move around, sort of like an oven. I have been on the water with temps in the mid 20's wearing this set up and remained comfortable the entire trip thumb



Some of us have a hard time finding loose clothing.



It ain't easy making it look easy.

Great thread, guys! Coincidently, I've been giving this subject some thought myself. It's posts like these that make this one of the best fishing sites on the Internet, bar none. Thx. flehan

I wear fleece long johns, top and bottom. Heavy cotton sweat pants and shirt (Cabela's brand, not wally world specials). A wind proof shirt on top. Insulated Cabela's bib overalls. And if it's really cold, a heavy canvas work coat, and stocking cap. With all of this, I can layer down and up to suit the temps pretty well.

I like wearing overalls instead of coveralls to maintain better upper body movement. The windshirt is usually enough, and allows me free range of motion. I usually only have to wear the heavy coat when the big motor is on.

Above all else you should have warm feet it all starts there. At least 2 pair of socks, one of them should be thermal. There's my 2 cents.

guys dont forget a hat. The polar buff is very nice. I wear one as a hat, and keep one on the neck. When the boat is moving, just pull the neck buff up over the beeeek. When the boat stops pull her down!!!

I will have Polar and uv buff!!!

take a bottle or whiskey and you will be fine. i have not been cold yet this year but all i have wore was a delta waterfowl jakcket it works great and the whiskey and the bee tend to do the trick as well.

In addition to the above ideas. I wear a skier style head band around my neck. It fits pretty well because I have a big neck to hold up my fat head.

One of these babes will give you shade in the summer and keep BOTH SIDES WARM in the winter.

I don't know what kind of boat you have but mine would sink!
lol



I feel more like I do now than I did when I first got here!
