Advice for Cold Weather??

[GPC2]

I wore my under armour warm gear long sleeve top, and long pants bottom. I also wore two pairs of socks with foot warmers in my shoes. I kept hand warmers in my pockets and used them when I wasn't on the field. I think I did OK with the weather - but it obviously could have been a lot worse. It was very cold and there was a light rain falling for the entire game, but I was fine, other than the fact that my hands were pretty well frozen by the end of the game. The next morning it snowed!! I know it's not impressive to my northern bretheren, but it was crazy seeing snow for me - only the fifth time in my 33 years that I've seen snow (in person).

I would highly recommend Dick Honig's camp for anyone that has an opportunity to attend. We got a lot of film work and a helluva lot of field work. It was a great camp IMO.

Here in ND, when it gets over 30, we break out the striped thongs and cleated sandals. Not pretty, but verrry comfortable.

Now that is the reason that I never wanted to see a game in ND!

REPLY: Worst I ever had here in NJ was 8 degrees, very light breeze. This past season's state championship was played at Rutgers in the mid-twenties, fairly brisk breeze. I wore about six light layers of shirt. I was warm, but I looked like the Michelin Man.

I wear the cold gear and the McDavid hood. Keeps me warm.

Good luck at camp!

For cold and/or wet games I have the following items to wear:

Columbia brand fleece pullover designed for skiing
Nike brand cold gear similar to UA
Wind Stopper short sleeve undershirt form Honig's

I also use Coleman brand water repellent spray for shoes and hat.
