Antarctica requires Extreme Cold Weather clothing. At the U.S. Antarctic Program's Clothing Distribution Center in Christchurch, New Zealand we are issued our ECW gear and need to try on everything to make sure it fits! Video by Mary Lynn Price.

  • Cool. The beginning & end of this video is framed by a still with a beautiful smile. 

  • The bib overalls looked like the Carhartt C55 model. Pretty damn warm, but I don't know about for Antarctica. They're polyester fill as opposed to down.

  • Slower......

  • Those gloves don't seem to substantial when comparred to the rest of the gear. I also wonder how the military ECWS would stack up against this?

  • @eggsaladinthetub average is -20 F,BUT OFTEN DIPS INTO -50+ WIND CHILL,SORRY A "SIMPLE JACKET" JUST WONT DO.

  • What is average temp in Antartica? I could survive anything above -60 with a simple jacket.

  • @deltaalpha21074 well can u make a video on your system plz thanks.

  • They look like Kamik boots but it's hard to tell. That routine is pretty familiar to this Canadian :)

  • No such thing as the wrong type of weather, just the wrong type of clothing! Thank goodness for Thermal, Insular and Hydrophobic garment technology! These products save lives! Enjoyed the vid.
