How to keep my feet warm in below zero temps ?

[jdmls]

I'll say it again!!! Polypropylene!!!! All last winter waiting for the slush to disappear and standing on an ice shelf for hours...I wear hodgman breathables and used to bulk up starting at the feet...not anymore!!! No cotton!!! Poly...wool and you're laughing. It may be that hot Greek blood pulsing through my veins or that Macedonian stew I eat, but.......I WAS TOASTY. Oh ya, forgot to mention, no alcohol, but you knew that. :lol:

 

Goin to BPS on the way home .... Does anyone know of anywhere less expensive to pick up the Polypropylene socks....BPS like to bend you over for everthing

 

Yes , Virm the GRAF does help, LOL !!! My girl is Masi so I have picked up a few new meals

Don't know where your located, but if it's anywhere near downtown Toronto, try Mountain Equipment Co-Op at King & Spadina

 

They specialize top of the line outdoor gear and their prices are excellent too.

Dave, Marks Work Wear House would be another place you could try... I am going to pick up some stuff from them this weekend before my little trip to the Geen on monday.

Yes Marks has some socks they call 40 degree below which are similar to the Red Head ones I am wearing right now, not as good quality as BPS ones but the price is 20 bucks for 3 pair.

If you really have to use hand/foot warmers buy the reuseable ones from Lee Valley. To reuse then all you do is wrap them in a cloth and put in boiling water for 10 minutes. They do about 50 charges or so and only cost 4.95 or so each. Heck of a product....
