You need all of that just to work in the 30’s?

Unfortunately I have frequent periods where I'm not moving around or exerting myself up on scaffolding or lifts where the wind-chill is a dick. It gets into the single digits easily and my gear keeps me comfortable. There are also those days where you start off at 5am in the 20s and then it is in the 50s by the afternoon, so effective layering that can be shed is important.

I prefer to be warm and miserable than cold and miserable.
