My true gear grinder regarding winter jackets and such is that I've become more of a wuss through the years. I feel like I tolerate the cold much worse now than I did years ago, and I can only imagine how feeble and weak I'll be as an old man!

Yeah man. I went to mec and bought the "warmest parka in the store" and was so cold in it that I returned it. Just said fata it, I guess parkas aren't warm and went back to layering up underneath my old parka, which was also supposedly super warm.
My wife bought me my CG for my birthday a couple years ago and it has been a game changer. I was a little self conscious in it at first because it feels slightly ostentatious and I don't particularly love attention-getting clothes, but I'm a full convert now. They're top of the line.
