Oh man, I'm off to Canada. Coming from 43 degree celsius to minus 3 degrees celsius.... I appreciate this video. Thank you for the insight into dressing for cold weather.

-26 in July in Antarctica? That's actually not that bad! I'm assuming you were talking °C, since you're from NZ?

I hope your long johns were NZ merino wool! Also for a parka, I recommend Canada Goose next time!

in 94or 95ish just outside St Paul, Minnesota, I saw -50/-93wc F. 0 to -30 is very common in our cold cycle years

Try a motor cycle helmet preferable SHOEI I stood at -50 same system and try Lycra best thickness and and very tight --if they make lycra socks you will be warm as Toast!

[deltaalpha21074]

My system can withstand -60 any colder and you need heated Oxygen ...

Ive been outside in temperature as low as -40 degrees.

i live in sweden so the winters can get really cold.

But -40 it was crazy i thought i was going to die

@salmmiak

I love the way the video is speeded up between each commentary!

[musubi69]

[smhorse]

I stand corrected

This is a great video. Our school is learning about the Antarctica and this shows very clearly what you wear and when to put it on.

I just have one problem showing it to the children when our county doesn't let us connect to YOUtube.

What material is the first and second layers? Polypro and Fleece, respectively? What's the weight/thickness of each?
