Well the hood on the back of the parka is designed to so completely cover your head that only a small hole remains. This severely restricts one's vision but totally protects the head and neck from freezing wind and snow. Great for guard duty!

Black goatskin Maxwell today but drastic drop in temperatures by late tomorrow and probably use my Filson Mackinaw coat layered underneath with a Filson Mackinaw western vest.

My ANJ-4 got it's first use this season. Was 11 F (-12 C) this morning heading into work. I cannot wear the jacket much above 15 F without getting overheated.

Oh man, I didn't know the ANJ-4, until today and it's seemingly a rock of a flight-jacket, woohoo.

I'm back, nothing with butt-freezing!
Absolutely fine winterjacket and the -6°C were not the "end of the flagpole"!! And of course, I walked slowly around, to have a "neutral" test, without sweat-warming.

PS:
Naturally, I'm wearing outside always a winter-long johns (combined with the usual boxer-brief) under my trousers, at winter-weather below +5°C. I'm not stupid, like all the other german boys.

Yep, I thought the same.

THAT THING IS BADASS!!

Temperature down to the -5°C , with my Lost Worlds Test and 7oz flannel shirt underneath , still feel warm, I have no doubt it can handle much colder temperature around -10°C

Yep, and my simple and robust cotton/poly-winterjackets were always sufficient until -10°C, too. And my padded winter-tweedcoat would still be sufficient, below the -13°C of 2015.

Life's good.

Today the weather is not so bad, so it's the Californian from Bill Kelso with a thick sweater underneath, a Lochcarron snood and my cap from Hat People.

@SpeedRcrX
