[QUOTE="Wild Bill G, post: 1390274, member: 96281"] I live in Alberta what part of it will you be hunting. Any where south Of Edmonton which is close to central Alberta we seldom see temps below your20 degrees may be 15. Although near the mountains it can be colder. For boots I would look into some Red Wing boots they have a line called the Irish Setter line more for hunting with linings upto 1500 grams of thinsulate. I have a pair and they are very warm and your feet stay dry. For socks pick up a warm pair of smartwool socks or three not cheap but work great. Helly Hansen makes good moisture wicking and keep you warm under layers. For outer wear a jacket and bib lined pants work great for mobilita nd warmth. My outfit is from Actic Shield not sure if they still exist or not. Make sure what you find is wind proof as wind chill is a big factor here. I have been wanting to get the Sitka Gear Blizzard pants and jacket but they are real expensive. A hood is also a nice thing to have with your jacket. For a long sit mitts are warmer than gloves but a little akward both are a good idea as long as they are functional and warm. Last some kind of warm wind proof hat with ear flaps or a wind proof beanie type head gear is nice. There is a place here in Alberta called Raven Wear they make great winter clothes as a whole out fit you could look them up. They make high quality clothing. The out fit I bought 20 years ago still has everthing buy the pants going strong The polar flece on the pant just finally wore through. Hope this will help you and remember as your guide probably said it can get to -10 or 15 degrees farenhiet too. [/QUOTE]
