chadlanthier Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I work indoors most of the time on a psych unit, that I swear drops to below zero around 3 am. I usually have a heavy shirt followed by an underarmour hoodie. I need to get a dewalt hoodie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we use carhartt jackets when workin in the freezers and they work pretty good, but would like a milwaukee/dewalt jacket insteadI'm pretty sure nobody want to see a tall fat hairy yet bald guy either. It never really gets truly cold here in Portlandia, but it sure rains a lot! Rain gear does help keep you warm... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerDama Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Carhartt coats are the best coats I have ever tried. For hats I have a bomber hat(just imagine a Russian winter hat), the think looks stupid but it's warm as Hell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Jeans and a light fleece covers it for me in the winter. Possibly some gloves and a hat if it gets below 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Rebel Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Up here in Maine and in Boston you gotta have a good jacket ( preferably Carhartt ) , some good zip up hoody's , thermal long johns, thermal shirts, gloves, beanies, all that stuff. It gets so cold up here. You just gotta layer up, and take off layers as you warm up. Get some good socks as well. When I'm outside working all day, and I know it's gonna be snowing I wear my Columbia ski jacket and pants, as they are waterproof and that's way better than a soaking wet Carhartt. And in the rainy, windy weather I swear by my Carhartt rain jacket, with plenty of layers underneath. You also gotta factor in the wind up here as we are on the ocean, and the wind chill is brutal.
