Another good tip, if you are going to be out on the ice during the questionable times, it is a great idea to carry a pair of ice picks ... It could be as simple as two nails tied together with a string and wear it around your neck.

It will exponentially increase the chances that you'll be able to pull yourself out of the water on your own. Which can be really difficult if you are already cold.

Also, avoid wearing things like Carhartt coveralls or other similarly thick coveralls because as soon as you fall into the water, they end up acting like an anchor keeping you in the water as they absorb water immediately.

SealSkinz sound like they may come as close as I know of to what you're looking for.

Classic Model: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GQ0X5RC/

Touchscreen: https://www.amazon.com/SealSkinz-Ultra-Grip-Touch-Screen-Glove/dp/B014QM869Y

what size are you? amazon has them for $20 cad

u/tyrankh11 · 5 pointsr/skiing

You'll probably be renting most of your ski gear, so here are the warm items you'll want:

  1. GLOVES. Since you're just going on vacation, get a moderately good pair that are waterproof, and buy some cheapo glove liners (example glove, example liner).
  2. Scarf. Thick scarf preferably.
  3. Balaclava (example here) - optional if your scarf is really good, but recommended.
  4. Overpants (wear underarmour and jeans underneath). First time I went, I went to target and got a pair for about $15. (example here)
  5. Beanie.

    Now my personal two most important, but expensive items:

  6. Socks! Go to rei and get yourself a pair of these ski socks. Nothing is worse than freakishly cold feet, or feet that get destroyed by the crappy rental books. These socks are built to keep your feed warm and padded.
  7. Jacket. Ok...here you can cheat a bit by layering. The 'real deal' would be to get something like this. OR, do what I did (and continue to do): underarmour + long sleeve shirt + sweater + rain jacket. Yeah, you don't have a good seal, and you'll end up getting snow on your clothes and be a bit cold by 2pm, but if you don't have hundreds of dollars for a ski jacket it's a good deal. Note: i've found that cheap ski jackets are garbage, and you will pay the price for them.

    Hope this helps! You can buy pretty much all this except for the jacket for under $100, and maybe even less if you're really thirfty. Helmet, boots, and skis should be taken care of by the rental folks.

This seems pretty close. They have two blue options, but this one seems closest.

u/Clintfrom50Campfires · 3 pointsr/CampingandHiking

If you are EVER on ice that you suspect could be the least bit unsafe, PLEASE make sure you're wearing these. They have saved countless lives. If you're on a lake and the ice is a foot thick or more no, you probably don't need them. However, it's not uncommon to ice fish on 4-6 inches of ice with a snowmobile, or for people to xc ski on frozen rivers. Ice picks are the smartest thing you can carry on your person.

u/vhalros · 3 pointsr/cycling

If its because of cold, you could wear this thing: https://www.amazon.com/ColdAvenger-Pro-Softshell-Face-Mask/dp/B001SARMZW. It will make for a very humid environment around your nose/mouth (also available as a balaclava).

I guess you could also try putting chapstick or some other waxy thing (Burts Bee's maybe) on your nose?

u/leadhase · 3 pointsr/skiing

I have this bag and have no complaints. No outside padding for the boot sleeves, but I just have the bindings facing inwards always. Lasted 4-5 seasons now with no visible wear (ski ~15 days/season, with 1-2 plane trips). I actually throw my helmet and ski jacket/pants/socks in there too, nice snug fit & super convenient. But I bet most boot bags can do that. tl;dr it gets the job done

u/HARSHING_MY_MELLOW · 2 pointsr/FixedGearBicycle

I use SKS raceblades, which work great and are very easy to put on/take off in just a minute or 2. The Crud Roadracer 2 might interest you as well.

Overshoes really help to keep your feet *dry. They are more important without fenders as all the water hitting your down tube and BB will splash outward to the shoes.

For pants, I wear Helly Hansen overpants. There are no pockets and they breathable, but 100% sealed. Match that with a North Face rain jacket and I get to work 100% dry.

u/HonorableJudgeIto · 2 pointsr/Ultralight

What do people think of these? They are a third of the price and slightly lighter:

u/Paralily · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I need two of these, one for each kid. It seems the borrowers got cold faster than we did. My youngest needs gloves. Thanks for the contest.

u/FiveFourThreeNoseOne · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Is this .com only? Because I have this pair of rain pants for $43.10, but it's .ca.

ONE CENT.

u/mikeygigs18 · 2 pointsr/FashionReps

You can find this anywhere. Are you buying in bulk? Or you just want to buy one of each color? If you wanna buy in [bulk 9$ if you buy a dozen]
(http://www.theadairgroup.com/sweatshirts/pullover-hoodie/) click that and if you wanna buy just 3 click this $13

u/bovan · 2 pointsr/running

you get cold masks in neoprene which heats the air, and more advanced ones like this http://www.amazon.com/Talus-Outdoor-Technologies-ColdAvenger-Mask/dp/B001SARMZW/ref=sr_1_8?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1382695287&sr=1-8&keywords=cold+mask

Try looking at webshops that sell XC skis etc, they might have some they recommend.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/bicycling

I've gone through a ton of rain gear, but I've found a winning combo:

Bellwether Screaming Meemie Jacket

and

Helly Hansen Men's Voss Pant

I commute in dress clothes and they both keep me completely dry and don't crumple my clothes too much. They don't breathe so keep your pace leisurely.

*I put my dress shoes and socks in my bag and wear flip-flops when riding.

u/CykaBlyat22 · 2 pointsr/dankmemes

As a man how recently purchased this, i could not be more pleased with this meme. Upvote!

u/spleeble · 2 pointsr/NYCbike

Sealskinz gloves are excellent. I use these ones.

Best combination of water resistance and dexterity I've found.

u/Boredbarista · 2 pointsr/bicycling

Rain jacket, pants, and booties will make you impervious to rain. Best cheap option is helly hansen. Sure, bicycle specific rain pants are better suited, but they cost >$60.

You should get full fenders. They will keep the spray off your back, and keep your lower legs drier when you aren't in rain pants.

My partner has this hat: https://www.amazon.com/Mysuntown-Trooper-Hunting-Ushanka-Windproof/dp/B015E0E3AI/

I can't guarantee that it's 100% vegan since I didn't buy it myself, but it's all polyester as far as I can tell.

u/poilsoup2 · 1 pointr/snowboarding

pack layers and you can shed as needed: heres my layout

Base Layer:

I try to avoid cotton stuff cause of chafing, highly recommend exofficio if thats an issue.

runner leggings/thermal leggings

long sleeve work out material shirt/ thermal shirt

smartwool socks! smartwool is the best. I use it for backpacking too.

Second Layer:

arctix snow bibs from amazon : 40 (You want snow pants/bibs. getting snow all down your pants/up your back is awful.)

A flannel or other heavy shirt type

Third:

I have wantando jacket (70 from amazon) reeeealy warm. Hardly have worn it out and its been like 10-15 on the mountain. Id imagine I could wear it down to zero.

A lighter waterproof jacket incase the heavy jacket is too much.

Gloves: Get some nice waterproof insulated gloves and glove liners.

https://www.amazon.com/Arctix-Essential-Overall-3X-Large-Regular/dp/B003OIRLC0/

https://www.amazon.com/Wantdo-Waterproof-Mountain-Jacket-Windproof/dp/B00OA1B0Z4/

https://www.amazon.com/SmartWool-Trekking-Heavy-Socks-Medium/dp/B000UZDAZC/

If you got all of those youd be fine an any resort park

u/end_the_wars · 1 pointr/bicycling

I have a pair of these rain pants. They keep me dry and button at the bottom so I don't have to worry about the chain. I also use them in the winter over my work pants when I ride to work to keep the snow out and to keep warm.

u/F_Quidel · 1 pointr/chibike

I used these Ozero Winter Gloves! all winter long and they kept my hands warm even on the 0 degree days (and my ride is usually around 45 minutes to an hour long), I would recommend those to anyone. Also, they're pretty cheap.

u/whiskey06 · 1 pointr/vancouver

This is a quality jacket, and the North Face store on Robson had it for a comparable price:

u/bellapippin · 1 pointr/curlyhair

Hey!! I finally gave in and got this one for the worst days. Used it today for the first time, worked awesomely. I have a furry headband for when it's not too windy. I need to insulate my whole self in order to survive lmao

u/k0nabear · 1 pointr/snowboarding

anyone tried one of these respirator masks?

how funny do they look? how effective are they? know of any other brands other than ColdAvenger that make similar products?

u/pojodojo · 1 pointr/chicago

I use this face mask, and it has the benefit of making you look like Darth Vader.

u/Jenn_A · 1 pointr/chibike

I have these Helly Hansen Voss Pants.

The Pros:

-Keeps me dry

-Fits over my normal clothes or winter layers


The Cons:

-Not enough tapper in the legs I have to throw on a leg strap since they are not made just for cycling

-Does not breath (Great for cold riding not for warm!)

I wore them a lot over the past year, daily in the winter as a wind breaker, without any issues, little to no wear.

u/vaderisahottie · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I am anxiously excited to start the RAOA School of Mischief & Merriment. I do, however, feel that I am not quite prepared. I keep looking at the list of supplies needed. Perhaps you could assist me, that is if you don't mind.


I will most definitely need my book, that is if I want to keep track of all the spells and potions. That class will surely give me anxiety, lol.

I have heard that many suffer from Morthy-itis. Perhaps I should bring this so I can open a necessary adult beverage to pour into said container.

I have heard that the professors like us working like house-elves, so I should bring along this just in case.

For those cold nights, this will keep my head in the game.

They're good at getting their nose into trouble, maybe they can teach me a few things.

Oh, I cannot forget these. They will surely keep me hidden and invisible from any pesky bugs.



Answers may be out of order. I also stuck with things that were currently on my wishlist.

u/bay-to-the-apple · 1 pointr/bikecommuting

I use these because they are cheap and efficient waterproof pants. https://www.amazon.com/Helly-Hansen-Mens-Voss-Rain/dp/B003PGRNGK

Think I paid $35 for them. They work well.

u/CivilServiced · 1 pointr/instant_regret

More like this:

The screwdrivers sound like a down home equivalent but you can also make your own with some dowels and nails, and they will float.

u/hahncholo · 1 pointr/motorcycles

Can't help you with the armored part, I have this: https://www.amazon.com/Helly-Hansen-Mens-Voss-Rain/dp/B003PGRNGK

u/Quizzelbuck · 1 pointr/frugalmalefashion

Does any one have a good line on a Snow/ski style nylon winter coat deal? This color and style are what i'm interested in, though i hear tell this specific store page is the poopoo. It would be in the price range of what i'd hope i could spend.

u/thugymoi · 1 pointr/streetwear

im guessing you're trying to cop this one? if so i got a medium and it fit just right, if i got a small it wouldve been too snug. I'm 5'7 140 lbs.
