It's been about 17 F (-8c) here. I wear the A-2 with a sweater over a shirt and undershirt. If I were going to be outside for extended periods, I'd go with something else. Perhaps I need to get a B-6 for January and February days in the Northeast USA regions. Yeah, I *NEED* a B-6. I've *EARNED* a B-6, and, what's more, I *OWE* myself a B-6...

Hey, Estevan! I checked out the Werber on Eastman's site and it looks spectacular. Please post pictures of it when it arrives. It looks better than my ELC RW 1401. BTW, I'm familiar with Beacon and Newberg, NY. I have relatives there and have visited many times.

It has been very mild in England this weekend that I have worn an A2 for the first time for months. My Irvins and B3s have had a lot of use this winter.:)

Lets see it was 71 on Friday, 75 on Sat and 65 today. Wore an A2 on Sat and had to take it off too hot. Today I was able to wear one in the morning during the walk the dogs time and maybe tonite when I walk them again. My B-6 sits forelorn in the closet I think its done for the season.

Good to have you back Steve.

Always good to have you around Steve. I really must pop 'next door' sometime, but just trying to rest up right now in Jacket Rehab! Enjoy a noisy Easter Semana Santa !!

Temps in the FL Panhandle varies day to day. I spend a lot of time
on the water and wear my USN WEP. Keeps me toasty. We been having
33 to 75 days so its a challenge every day. A little salt and pepper keeps
the inventory in rotation. Been able to wear my G-1s in the car with the
top down.

Kansas is warming back up after having temps from 0-teens. We are at 57 and climbing today. Snow is gone. Typical midwest winter the last few years.

Agree with you, F4 , about Florida weather this Winter. I am on the Gulf side and temps have been up and down each week like a roller coaster. Have worn my Saddlery A-2 about a dozen times so far and will be wearing it tonight as temps are cooling off again.
