I was just wondering what others thought of this list and which is their replacements as preferred kit for recent trips out.
Personally I prefer my montrail highlanders for footwear with bridgedale liner socks, bridgedale thick outer socks and a pair of sealskins. Keeps my feet toasty and dry. Plus I can easily kick steps in them and they are quite grippy and I am more stable in them than any other footwear I own. The sealskins mean even if snow gets into them then melts when I get low at the end of a walk they still keep your feet dry. One thing though you do need to keep feet dry in winter as wet feet in porous shoes like highlanders positively freeze your feet as the wind blows straight into the shoe (if out of snow that is).
Rab VR Jacket with the removable hood that never gets taken off. I wear it over two patagonia capilene tshirts. Trousers are a simple pair of trekking type trousers, whichever brand / model fits a lanky person like me. If it is predicted to be very cold (like subzero everywhere and very subzero in the hills) then I'll wear a pair of capilene long johns by Patagonia.
Headwear is eithe a TNF beanie or a Lowe Alpine mountain cap, Two buffs worn at the same time. Odlo liner gloves in an absolutely toastie pair of mitts (outdoors something inferno mitts) cheap, extremely warm and with some very neat design features.
Now what else do you need, oh yes one of Alpkit's drybag rucksacks. Bombproof and waterproof. Plus not too big so you don't take too much gear. I reckon a pair of Kahtoola microspikes will end up in my kit very soon especially if we still have these conditions come payday.
Last time I was out on 28 December it was around 3°C in the Belgian Ardennes with snow and ice on the ground and light snow falling (very pretty) but not much wind.
I wore a Paramo Alta II with a Mountain Vent Pull-On underneath. Berghaus Terrain Trousers with Patagonia Capilene 2 leggings underneath. 5.10 Camp Four shoes with Falke socks. I was putting on and off a wool/fleece beanie all day but didn't wear any gloves. I did have additional layers but didn't need them even at the brief stops we made. I was very comfortable. The unlined shoes got wet on the outside but it didn't come through (even when kicking through snow drifts off track for a bit as a result of a little navigation error ).
Due to go up there next on 23 January. Conditions can get a bit rough. It has been down to -14°C in the last two weeks and is also often very windy. To be honest I wouldn't mind! I would add those extra layers though...
Worked well so far although Im probably going to get some softshell trousers to replace the trouser waterproof combo and will probably swap the gloves for a liner glove, thick glove, mitten combo
Had a Montane synthetic jacket in the rucksack for stops, but didn't stop long enough to use. Can't remember it's name, it's whatever preceded the Toasty.
