Interesting read on keeping body warm through proper clothes layering!

[zippyFX]

This is good advice... I always use the layer methods and spent the whole day fishing outdoors at -8 with wind without getting cold (though I do need a better boots bought thermal socks but I need an insulating insole);Other than the torso (5 layers: thermal underwear, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, jacket liner and shell) and legs (two thermal underwear, pants) I found the addition of a skiing balaclava (which I wear my hat over and have the option for a hood on my jacket) and a neck warmer to be very valuable and practical. People I was fishing with were giving up after 90 minutes but I kept going all day.

One additional safety note when wearing many layers.... If you fall in the water the layers may wick up a significant amount of water causing you to be significantly heavier than you expect and could pull you under.... Just this fall in Ottawa a bride drowned when her dress wicked up water from the lake and puller her in.

If your in deep water in cold conditions nothing beats one of those safety suits.
