We are going to be talking about outer wear now which is your jacket and your pants which
are really important, super important. Obviously you are going to opt for something you like.
I went for camo this year. My pant and jacket are made by Holden but the first thing you
are going to want to look for which determines the price the most is how water proof your
jacket and pants are. The water proofness is based on rating of millimeters which is
based on a rating of 5,000, 10,000, 15,0000, 20,000 or 30,000. 30,000 is the most expensive
and is usually made by Gortex and usually that will bring a price tag of at least $300
so if you are just starting out you will probably want to get something that is 5,000 millimeters
of waterproofness and breathability. There are two separate things, breathability is
how well moisture comes through your jacket from the inside and waterproofness is how
well it stops water from coming into your jacket. As far as other features there is
a million different things that are out now. There are cuffs that goes around your hand
so you don't get any snow. There are gators that zip on around your body so that you don't
get snow inside from the bottom.
