Reddit mentions: The best sports & outdoors fleece

I agree with most of this information, but for all of the people from warm climates that will see this, the winters are absolutely manageable, and the way this person wrote the winter segment almost seems like a joke. Suggesting a windbreaker over a thick winter jacket? Perhaps just bad wording, but bad advice. Over-the-ear headphones as protective winter gear? You've got to be kidding.

But yes, if you don't dress for the weather, it's gonna suck. Coming from someone who grew up in upper midwest winters and comfortably biked through the winter for all four years at the U, here's what I think you should get to be comfortable:

• A solid over-ear winter hat
  
• 1-2 beanie winter hats (should cover your ears, good for layering, and you'll lose one)
  
• An absolutely reliable, wind-blocking scarf, cold weather mask, or other face covering
  
• Waterproof/windproof winter jacket (hood recommended)
  
• A nice mid-layer (like a sweatshirt or fleece)
  
• Long underwear/base layers (under armour, thermal leggings, etc)
  
• Skiing gloves (waterproof/windproof-- get two pairs because you'll lose one)
  
• Liner gloves (could be the crappy $2 ones from Target, but it doesn't hurt to spend a bit more)
  
• Wool socks (multiple pairs-- they're comfy and functional)
  
• Waterproof snowboots
  
  It's not hard to thrift for many of these items to get them cheap. Hit the thrift store before October to get your best selection-- heck, go this weekend!

  Also, after being directly connected with more students than I can count from classes and extracurriculars, I didn't know anyone who preferred using the Gopher Way. I wouldn't count on using it unless you want to add 10-30 minutes through isolated tunnels to your commute. It's far easier to reliably bundle up and walk straight to wherever you're going, as long as you can navigate the often-plowed snow (wheelchairs, crutches, and other mobility obstacles might be an exception).

looks like they have good reviews on amazon for below freezing weather. Not going to be the warmest Spyder jacket as its notably cheaper than the others, but seems like it gets the job done

Anyone have a recommendation for a full zip mid-layer? I like the raglan sleeves and the high neck. Looks like they have a lot that match that description.

Or thoughts on how the Marmot Gravity Jacket compares to this more generic one on Amazon.

Thank you. I have this jacket:http://www.amazon.com/Columbia-Mens-Steens-Mountain-Full/dp/B0084AVVOM/ref=pd_sim_a_1 and need a new one cause it gets cold as tits up here.As for shoes, I have 2 pairs of converse(high and low, black).And don't you need more than one pair of jeans so you can have clean pairs?As always, recommendations, suggestions, and corrections are appreciated.

After going skiing in this jacket this year, I grew tired of sweating constantly with my jacket open and no gloves on, and figured I had to get a shell before I go next time to keep my own sanity. Fortunately a guy on eBay was selling a Arc'Teryx Sindwinder SV for 230$, which I copped. Now one of my friends wishes to buy the former jacket, and I'm little worried what to do in really cold weather with my new jacket. What kind of base- and mid-layers would you recommend at, say, 0C to -10C, -10C to -20C and -20C and below? Right now all I have is some generic base-layers, some consisting solely of synthetic materials, and others consisting of a mix of synthetic materials as well as wool for colder days. The only kind of mid-layer I own are Helly Hansen fleeces. What should I get?

Winter Coat on Amazon, first thing to show up. Probably a million other places to get one like Goodwill or Salvation Army if you're really hurting on money like you claim, that's just through retail brand new

It's $173 in various colors on Amazon.

How is the Marmot Drop Line 1/2 zip vs. Patagonia’s 1/4 zip? Specifically this one

No need to spend $300. Outdoor Research makes the same coat for $150 https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Research-Transcendent-Pewter-Lemongrass/dp/B003XMQ9X4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480170515&sr=8-2&keywords=outdoor%2Bresearch%2Bdown%2Bjacket&th=1&psc=1
