I am excitedly preparing for this trip! Of course, if I intend on living in a cold environment, I decided I had best get myself some cold weather gear! My sister-in-law, and great friend, turned me onto two great stores- Columbiawww.columbia.com/, and REIwww.rei.com/. I am sooo hooked on these places now! When I shopped at Columbia, I got the best deals, I left the store with a fleece, a soft shell(with omni-heat!), and a great outer coat of down (also with omni-heat). Of course before this shopping spree I had NO idea what omni-tech was, so I was excited to learn about its magical warming abilities. Omni-heat is a reflective technology placed inside the jacket to help reflect the heat back into the body. The technology works by using your own heat to reflect back into your body. Columbia was a great shopping day! I also hit up REI , and was awe struck by the great stuff they have. I needed boots still, and boy did I get some boots! I got the deal of the century, and my friend dubbed me the "bargain fairy"! I loved that one! Anyway, I found a pair of sorels for 45$- yup, that's right, only 45$! The boots are awesome, rated for -25 degrees. I won't describe them much because I decided to take pictures of my haul.
