Will I be warm enough this season?

Question

I have underarmour coldgear and columbia pants. Should I wear some form of mid layer or is it unecessary? I also have underarmour socks that are made for snowboarding will they be enough? My upper body once again is a underarmour coldgear mock turtleneck and a 85% polyester hoodie underneath. Then my jacket.

Answer 1

Your body should be plenty warm.  I usually wear underarmour and a sweatshirt too, then pants.  Make sure that you have good gloves on, cuz those are usually the only thing that bug me when im snowboarding.  Alot of snowboarders wear neck/face warmer too.  

hope i helped

Answer 2

If you wore that where I live you'd be sweating..... so yeah, depends on the weather.

If it's really cold, I wear a pair of thermal long johns (one on top of the other), sweat pants, a pair of wool socks, snow pants (the more insulated the better, unfortunately I have cheap ones), and then two thermal shirts (under armor, chili's, thermals, whatever) separated by two t-shirts and then my jacket. Make sure you wear liners for your hands-I don't care if your gloves are gore-tex. If you get snow in your gloves will get cold quick. You also might want to bring those hand and toe packet warmers just in case (the ones that you shake a little bit and put under your hands and feat) and don't forget to cover your neck and face as much as possible. I use the air blaster pterryclava. I love it, it covers my whole face and you can pull it down under your chin if you want because the fabric is stretchable. Other than, a beanie. This set-up will do you good for up to -5 degrees I believe. So if it's going to be warmer, you can just wear one less thermal but still wear everything else on your chest area because you can go in the lodge and discard it later if you want to. Never hurts to be prepared.

Answer 5

It depends on your metabolism.  For some people that gear would be enough, for others too much, and others not enough.  It is impossible to give a sensible answer.  Try the experiment and adjust.
