What are your recommendations for cold weather flight gear? Columbia Jackets? Military Surplus? Carhartt?
Do you put on more layers under your flight suit? |

you need to be prepared for getting stuck in the middle of nowhere broken down in a field. You need to be completely prepared. Not a joke. BTDT and was glad I grew up in a bitterly cold climate. |

In the winter, I carried 2 sleeping bags, -20 degrees. A 15 lb survival kit and a firearm. ( that was for fighting over the sleeping bags). All pax had to have a good coat, hat and gloves. I didn't always file a flight plan but at least 2 people would know where were going to be. ( Corporate type, utility work). |

"Winter" is relative... Are we talking Dauphin Canada winter? Deadhorse winter? MN winter? Anchorage winter? Most Columbia gear sucks. I do layers. Merino wool against the skin, cashmere or wool over that, fleece and warm jacket. If I am flying in very remote/cold place where I may be stuck for a few days, I have a "Wiggy's" setup (pants, jacket, lamilight socks) that I can put over my inner layers and make it overnight. I also keep bunny boots and chemical heaters in my kit. I fit it all in a small compresion duffel. |

Not sure where you are or what your climate is. When I was an HAA pilot in N Central Texas, I wore nomex/aramid undergarments under my flight suits when it got cold cold. Just cheap, cotton pajama pants under it when it was just cold (with company issued flight jacket). |
