I’m looking for a super warm winter coat that will last me forever. Something that will keep me warm around -30 C. I’m thinking military surplus, because it should theoretically be more durable (right?).
Price isn’t a huge issue if the quality is worth it.
Yeah. I’m stubborn and specifically looking for something I don’t need to layer with. Problem is anywhere I go is hot indoors, so I have to completely unlayer. I kind of wanted something that is a single piece
Layering is the answer. Sorry. I don’t mean to repeat everyone else, but I spent years living in Alaska.
Once you’re used to layering, you’ll look back at your past self as so foolish!
That’s a cool idea, but I think a single coat just doesn’t work at those temps. Layering isn’t just for variety of temps you can adjust for, the layers themselves and the air they trap at each layer are part of the solution.
Hm, I’d suggest a heavy winter jacket with some sort of soft lining because it acts as an insulation layer and outer layer. Army jackets are good but they’re generally also meant to be layered. High quality commercial stuff will probably be better overall.
