Service N-2B's can be purchased for a 'song' and perform well from my experience...a fraction of most shearlings :-D
LHB with a warm pullover and a cap or hat. Enough.
Having just moved back to Northern Norway in winter it's an Arctic conditions parka for most of the time. I'll use my ELC Irvin when our container with all our stuff arrives but that will get an airing on the less extreme days.
Smithy, what are you doing way up there? After two HA cruises to warmer climes (Hawaii and then S Spain / S Portugal / Funchal, Madeira), we are looking at the the Norwegian fjords next August. We cruise as far north as Tromso and Honningsvad, within 400 miles of the N Pole. Hopefully won't need the gear you are using now. :eeek:
Buzz Rickson N-1 - very warm...
Hi Fanch, the better half is norwegian and we've lived here twice previously but with little ones now we decided to move back permanently.
And good choice you'll be going on the Hurtigruten up the coast, it's seriously beautiful. If you need a hand with anything in relation to Norway just let me know!
Thanks Smithy and will do. I heard that part of the world is beautiful, much the same as Antarctica that is likely a bridge too far for me but will see. Anyhow our trip to Norway is planned for next year and look foward to a cooler climate while everyone else in Dallas bakes in the excruciating August heat there.
The fjords and other places in Norway are one of the most beautiful places in the world! Sounds like a good choice Fanch, you will not be dissapointed! I go up there every year flyfishing for salmon.Smithy, what are you doing way up there?

D1 today...although it was really an N-3A day over here :-D
