Oh baby, it's cold outside!
...but no worries. The key to staying warm, as I've mentioned before, is layering, and taking advantage of the technology available.
GEN III ECWCS - Extended Cold Weather Clothing System - is based on the layering systems used by the Army and mountaineering professionals, and is designed to keep you warm and comfortable in extreme cold conditions.
Level 1 - a lightweight undershirt and leggings worn next to the skin, made of a highly breathable fabric with moisture-wicking abilities, dries quickly to providing cooling in warmer weather, and works as an insulating base under other layers without adding a lot of bulk. Black or sand, sizes Small - 3XL. Level 1 balaclava, also available.
Level 1 Top, Bottom, or Balaclava
Level 2 - a mid-weight top and bottom, also has moisture-wicking properties and provides another layer of insulation in colder climates. Black or sand, sizes Small - 3XL. Level 2 balaclava, also available.
Level 2 Top, Bottom, or Balaclava
Level 3 - a fleece jacket that can be worn as a liner for level 4, or as the top layer in milder weather. Black or foliage, sizes Small - 3XL.
Level 3 - Jacket
Microfleece watch cap - I know I can't get through winter without one. One Size in black, coyote, or foliage.
And don't forget our tried and true Flight Jacket.
Stay warm this season!

Photo of the Day
Outdoor Game
Originally uploaded by mirvana
I was just browsing through my flickr photostream and thought, this is a really great photo of me in my MultiCam Tru-Spec TRU Combat Shirt, plate carrier, WileyX XL-1s, &etc. With chilly weather upon us, the TRU Combat Shirt would make an excellent layer under a fleece/insulated vest, as a transition into winter.

Women in Airsoft
Just joined the SAWA Girls forum - a forum for women interested in discussion and empowering each other through Airsoft, MilSim and other similar activities.
Speaking of women in airsoft, here is my "Tip of the Day for Women in Airsoft": buy pants that are a little large and fit loosely. This will allow for greater mobility and ease of movement in the hips. A good test is if you can do a deep lunge or squat and hold it there for a few minutes. Tight pants might look good, but it might also hamper your speed and agility. If you ever need help choosing gear that fits, feel free to contact mirv@darkthreads.com for expert advice.
