I finally got some neoprene shoe covers and, boy, do they make a difference! I also use a balaclava with the nose thingy that has a cutout on the bottom (fer snot wipin') and a mesh area at the mouth. That has really helped me with not feeling smothered by the balaclava when I'm working hard.

The problem is breathability. I'm getting pretty sweaty if I add a windbreaker but it's just too cold to do without it. Mine's just a Canari windbreaker - are those fancy soft shell wind jackets better for this? Do you guys find yourselves constantly unzipping and rezipping? I know I've complained about this here before but it's been a whole year, so I thought I'd bring it up again.

Corsair, it must have taken you 45 minutes to disrobe when you got to work! Denise, I like the knee warmer idea!
