what to wear during WINTER?

[GlennSter]

i know it's kinda out of place to ask you guys this question....

but im wondering what to wear during extremely cold climates aside from the usual bulky jackets.....

do you know where i can buy THERMAL suites? ung parang...masikip na sinsuot para ma maintain yung heat..para di na kailangan ng madaming patong of sweat shirts and jackets...

thanks~!!!!

Try mo sa Marks and Spencer.. also dont forget to buy gloves (preferably leather) :-)

long johns. yan yung hapit na sinusuot sa ilalim ng jeans/shirt.

try m&s or rustans.

Glenn: Actually, wearing a thick jacket is not your best route. Layering is the most effective.

Wearing different level of clothing is important, so is staying dry (meaning don't sweat underneath the jackets).

Your first line of defense is thermal underwear of course. Locally siguro nga M&S lang choice mo, but alam mo naman pinas daming feeling imported na lugar na may winter stuff hehe. But you should have that, that'll keep you warm, it has to fit snugly too.

Next few layers should be breathable, fleece is good so will wool... Wool is preferred dahil light sya and breathable. Your last few layers should be those ski-jacket types, preferably with goretex para waterproof. Usually mga ski jackets (like mine, Northface sya), nahihiwalay ang thinner goretex windbreaker na water proof sa inner lining na down filled.

Getting a scarf will help A LOT. dun ang usual na pasok ng hangin kasi.

Gloves and knitted cap is a given, you lose heat fastest sa extremities.

Feet, unless aakyat kang bundok or whatever, dont worry too much, a thin sport sock + a thick winter sock will keep you toasty...

Punta kang alaska?

Oh, sa Surplus Shop sa Mega (yung malapit sa Supermarket) madalas may mga winter stuff.

you can buy thermal underwear cheap in baguio. P100 for the top and another P100 for the bottom.

Masakit sa ilong at tenga yan. :D

baon ka rin ng Lip Gloss..sakit pag pumutok ang labi..Lotion na rin..hehehe..baka dry ang skin mo..

[KCboy]

ear muffs, scarf, gloves, cap to cover ur head, wear thick socks n get boots that are water proof cause it'll be winter hell in TO RRRRRONTO ontaRRRIO...

ang mahirap dyan pag ji-jingle ka -- bago mo mailabas si junior eh hubad ng gloves (mahirap kasi di sanay na hindi buhay ang nakahawak!) then talaga naman na unfasten ng belt, zipper, then down ang long johns (e paano na kung yung long johns mo e yung whole body hehehe!) then briefs. dapat asintado ka kundi mababasa ka sa dami ng damit na suot mo hehehe!at alam mo na kung ano nangyayari kay junior pag malamig di ba? nahihiya kaya, hehehe, dapat asintado ka talaga!

Merong winter clothing store dito sa Cash and Carry. You can also have thermal wear tailored yata. Beats the 1,450 or so for Marks and Spencer.

petroleum jelly can also be used as an alternative for lip gloss, i think it can be also applied to the skin

suot ka condom para di malamigan

ear muffs kelangan mo talaga pag sobrang lamig dahil lulutong nag tenga mo at matatanggal...tinatakot ba kita?

[GlennSter]

i always use jelly nga kasi ambilis magdugop ng surface ng nose and lips ko...pati tenga minsan nagdugo na nung nag snow during APRIL.bwahrharharharh

salamat guys.

ghosthunter: san exactly sa baguio un?or nagkalat sa mga UK?(ukay?)

[alpha-q]

hehehe where are u going by the way? first time ka ba sa lamig? pag first time (yun ang nanonotice ko) hindi ka mahihirapan masyado yung lamig kasi parang atat ka pa dahil galing ka sa pinas, pero after one year pag malamig uli ang season dun ka makakramdam ng takot.

ang kalaban lang talaga niyan ay yung hangin e. ex. -20 degrees ang lamig pero pag malakas ang hangin nagiging -30 or lower.

kaya nga ako umuwi e hehehe ayaw ko na sa toronto kakatakot ang lamig.

bili ka ng ski mask, yung parang magnanakaw. sarap yon gamitin wag ka lang papasok sa bangko.
gloves and earmuffs pati yung suot sa ulo na ginagamit ng mga yes yes yo. ung scarf kahit hindi na, nakaksuka lang yon

[GlennSter]

alpha..sa toronto nga ako pupunta...hehrehrehrehr

nakaranas na ako ng snow in april...ung WIND CHILL nga yung pamatay pare....nung nasa condo ako tapos nag snow..takbo ako sa labas!!!yahoo!!!

tapos biglang humangin....NANGATOG ako pare....

we might be migrating narin kasi sa nova scotia late next year pag naayos namin. pero as of now..sa whitby muna kami sa ontario.

[alpha-q]

hahaha. sige gudlak pre!

april painit na yon, pinakamatindi yung january ingat!

there's this shop in greenhils that sells winter jackets for a good price. its located at the 2nd floor beside the squadron shop.

one fabric that they use is what they call as fleece. para cyang sweater type pero hindi waterproof. Sobrang dami nito sa ukay ukay and it really feels hot pag suot mo cya. i have one which i bought from my officemate and its made of Polartec fabric check mo na lang sa net yung technology ng polartec.

www.polartec.com

glenn may ukay located there along v-luna malapit lang sa inyo. Iggis yata pangalan nung place katabi cya ng jollibee sa corner ng east ave. madami sila fleece type na jackets and sometimes may polartec pa sila (Php 250.00) lang average price nya.

another way to keep yourself warm is to always wear somthing on your head. a baguio made bonnet is good and cheap together with their mittens. madami nito pag may mga trade fair or sa tiangge

[yebo]

don't forget sunglasses, kakasilaw ang snow. preferably yung polarized lenses.

[GlennSter]
