Winter Kit

bottom:

merino wool socks (like the skiing kind)
thermal underwear or tights
heavy sweatpants
stockingfoot breathable waders (neoprene not advised unless you like swamp ass)
crocs over waders for launching (ya I wear crocs bro)

Top:
lightweight top like a rashguard or PFG Columbia shirt
additional layer or fleece
heavy duty hoodie
buff rag
beenie
splash jacket over the top
pfd

I was out this week and it was 40 degrees at the launch at 5 am. In this setup you can take a full on barrel on the head and still be dry as a bone (except your head, maybe stash your beanie for the launch).

if anyone responds saying that you will drown in waders....

I was thinking about doing a youtube video to cover this, the topic seems to come up all the time.
