Hi Lisa!

I would add layers where you are coldest. My husband and I have similar issues...when he gets cold, it's usually his arms. For me, it's my chest. I just bought an Ibex tank that I plan to wear under my wool baselayer or jersey. Often, I can get away with just a wind vest where my husband needs a full jacket. And I've also been known to keep an extra wind vest with me for cases where I'm not quite layered enough. My H, on the other hand, just purchased the wool armwarmers from Ibex. His plan is to wear them under his jacket (over the wool baselayer) to add warmth where he needs it.

Of course, neither of us have tried this yet because wouldn't you know it...our new wool arrives and we get a warm front!

Ditto wearing arm warmers over the base layer. I just tried it last week and it helped a lot.

Not Ibex, but Eddie Bauer has this wool sweater 50% off. It's cute for you ladies in colder climates.

Lisa/Laurie- I would add a half-zip Ibex Shak....over your woolie, under the pingo jacket. If that proves to be too hot, then skip the woolie and wear the shak instead with the pingo on top. That should do it. Look a few posts back to the link to Udans.com for shaks on sale right now. They run pretty true to size.
Another solution would be to wear two woolies instead of one. That would probably work too, but the shak might be more fun to have in general.



P.S. My husband just ordered his second shak. When he got the first one, he said he was "only going to wear it for biking". Hah! I knew that wouldn't last, because they are just too damned comfy and tempting to put on. Sure enough, he was wearing it every day this past week....said he was "testing" it. Hah!
He confessed today that he has ordered a second shak.

I want to thank expert wool weenie KnottedYet for the advice she gave Trek420 on woolie items for me for Channuka. I wore the Ibex glove liners and the woolie boolie socks today (inside my OR mittens and NorthFace down boots respectively) and my fingers and toes have never before been so toasty on a January day here before. Admittedly, it wasn't all that cold for this time of year, but colder than yesterday when my toastiness level left that little bit extra to be desired.
