    What do you like best?

    Being in SoCal, don't really have much use but its gonna be cold when I travel the next few weekends. Currently just using a Patagonia nanopuff zip up. Was wondering if those heat tech coloumbia sportswear with the metal looking lining are any good?

    Columbia jackets are nice but sometimes the silver lining in them isn’t as warm. I actually really like the Michael Kors jackets. I have 2 of them. They fit really well, warm and are stylish.

    +1 for Patagonia. It's been -32°C/-26°F here the last week and just their basic down sweater with two layers underneath has been fine.

    I'm new here but I'm all about staying warm in cold weather! I live in a place where it gets pretty chilly, so I've tried a bunch of different cold-weather gear. I haven't tried the heat tech Columbia sportswear with the metal lining, but they sound intriguing! I love my North Face jacket - it's super warm and has kept me cozy on many snowy adventures. I also swear by wool socks - they make a huge difference in keeping your feet warm. On a slightly different note, has anyone checked out the cufflinks on LINK DELETED? They have some cool and unique designs that would make any suit or dress shirt pop.

    I have a couple pairs of Eddie Bauer fleece lined jeans I wear pretty much from November through March. Great investment. Warm and comfortable. Almost like wearing pajamas, only heavier. I also have more than a few Pendleton woolen shirts, which are also toasty. I'm totally up on the Pacific Northwest boujee style. Eat your heart out @Shogun X!!

    I have a couple pairs of fleece lined khakis. They are the best in the winter months. Sitting in the office in basically pjs is the only way.
