> Convertible mittens

Those are not warm. I find convertible mitten to be the worst of both worlds - the warmth of a glove, the dexterity of a mitten. If I'm not doing any rope work, I find that I can do most things in a mitten without removing it.

If you have the money, go with the the OR Alti Mitt. When it's super cold, it's what I wear. I can remove skins without taking them off, too. Alternatively, a shell like this or even this, with these as liners is as warm, but more durable, but bulkier, and heavier.

I have an 15 year old pair of OR mitten shells with a $20 pair of ragwool mittens as liners that I use and abuse all winter long. (I save the fancy, down-lined Alti mitt for the worst fo the worst, - Denali, Alaska Range in March, etc.)

Wither either approach, make sure you have them sufficiently large. Your hands will stay warmer with more airspace to circulate, particularly if also using a chemical hand heater. Which is also more convenient in a larger mitt because you can move them around.

Do not try wear a glove liner as the primary source of insulation. If you find that you occasionally need to remove a mitt and need something on your hand, wear a very light liner glove such as these under the mitt. I've even experimented with wearing a latex or nitrile glove. It doesn't insulate and feels a bit weird, but if the concern is wind when you have your mitts off, they work well.

Finally, look at your poles. Are they conducting heat away? I've never bothered with poles, but I've wrapped areas of my mountaineering axes with insulating tape to reduce conductive heat loss. Also, use good wrist straps will touring. If you're gripping onto the poles, you reduce blood flow. If you can have a nice, light grip assisted by wrist straps (I prefer the rubber ones to nylon), your hands will remain noticeably warmer.

Pow Men's Pho-Tog Glove, Black, X-Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LBCTUKW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9MA1BbEV3WNF6

I've had this pair for 8 years, haven't worn them a ton every year but they always make an appearance And have held up after all that time. A small tear on one of the Velcro straps but still straps tight.

I used them skiing, filming locals (from northern Maine) so used them pretty hard for the first few years.

Have you checked AirBnB yet? There's probably some apartments that you could rent that are close to hotels that are used as pick up points for excursions.
I used these guys when I was there in December 2015, https://www.re.is for couple of my tours.
I went on the following tours;

Warm Baths Cool Lights ( A geothermal pool, then northern lights )

Game of Thrones tour ( used greyline.is for this )

South Shore Adventures (Get to see the Skógafoss waterfall and the Black Sand beach, couple other stops as well )



Here's what I wore on most days.

Underwear ( http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00Z8HWXIM )

Thermal Pants/Long Sleeve (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0064D1DNK, then the same kind of top)

3 in 1 Jacket ( http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00HQ33NTY )

Snow Pants ( http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00AHJM8CM ) I used a different set of snow pants, that I ordered through aliexpress, but had these along incase the ones I got from China didn't work out. They ended up being perfect, so I never even wore these.

Boots : Good set of Hiking boots, that were waterproof.

Wool Socks were a must as well ( http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00TOWNXO0 )

I also had two sets of gloves. Ones that were windproof but touchscreen capable so I could take pictures with my phone. Then another that were heavy duty/waterproof just in case. I mostly just wore my windproof ones, as they were slightly waterproof as well. Also a really good beanie hat. I also carried a neckgator just incase the wind got to be to much for me.

I agree with most of this information, but for all of the people from warm climates that will see this, the winters are absolutely manageable, and the way this person wrote the winter segment almost seems like a joke. Suggesting a windbreaker over a thick winter jacket? Perhaps just bad wording, but bad advice. Over-the-ear headphones as protective winter gear? You've got to be kidding.

But yes, if you don't dress for the weather, it's gonna suck. Coming from someone who grew up in upper midwest winters and comfortably biked through the winter for all four years at the U, here's what I think you should get to be comfortable:

• A solid over-ear winter hat
  
• 1-2 beanie winter hats (should cover your ears, good for layering, and you'll lose one)
  
• An absolutely reliable, wind-blocking scarf, cold weather mask, or other face covering
  
• Waterproof/windproof winter jacket (hood recommended)
  
• A nice mid-layer (like a sweatshirt or fleece)
  
• Long underwear/base layers (under armour, thermal leggings, etc)
  
• Skiing gloves (waterproof/windproof-- get two pairs because you'll lose one)
  
• Liner gloves (could be the crappy $2 ones from Target, but it doesn't hurt to spend a bit more)
  
• Wool socks (multiple pairs-- they're comfy and functional)
  
• Waterproof snowboots
  
  It's not hard to thrift for many of these items to get them cheap. Hit the thrift store before October to get your best selection-- heck, go this weekend!

  Also, after being directly connected with more students than I can count from classes and extracurriculars, I didn't know anyone who preferred using the Gopher Way. I wouldn't count on using it unless you want to add 10-30 minutes through isolated tunnels to your commute. It's far easier to reliably bundle up and walk straight to wherever you're going, as long as you can navigate the often-plowed snow (wheelchairs, crutches, and other mobility obstacles might be an exception).

Help me choose a snowboard/cold weather jacket

Here are the jackets I have saved after many hours of research, all of them have 10k/10k weather resistance.

Non of them are perfect. Some look good, but lack functions while others have functions, but don't look that slick.

My helmet is red, pants are black and my snowboard is white, black and red. Also where I live it gets quite cold in the winter (-30'C), so on the coldest days I would use the jacket to go around the town as well.

O'neil - All the functions, but looks too edgy, no?:

L1 - Nice looking jacket(I'll forgive the diagonal pockets), unfortunately lacks the skipass pocket on the sleeve:

WLD - Functional and looks ok, not fan of the brown stamp on left pocket :/
http://www.blue-tomato.com/en-GB/product/WLD-Snowy+Moon+Jacket-301643489-denim+blue+melange/?back=fn4dow

O'neil - Functionality ok, looks too dark, also very "contrasty" pocket zippers: http://www.blue-tomato.com/en-GB/product/O+Neill-Utility+Jacket-301796739-blue+wing+teal/?back=nAUUhA

Foursquare - Looks a bit "adventurous", good functionality+price, doesn't have wrist gaiters, so if I crash in powder snow can get into my sleeves:

DC - Goes well with my helmet, no skipass pocket on the sleeve:
http://www.amazon.com/DC-Mens-Axis-Jacket-Medium/dp/B00IJHX4V8/ref=sr_1_19?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1416324395&sr=1-19

O'neil - Sleeve pocket to high, other than that, looks good:
http://www.amazon.com/ONeill-Snow-Jones-Shell-Medium/dp/B00KQ26N3U/ref=sr_1_51?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1416324921&sr=1-51

DC - Looks ok, but weird design inside the hood:

Could someone help me find a jacket? This is gonna sound oddly specific, but I’m looking a big striped pattern style similar to these two:

https://www.the-house.com/bo3ti04ci10zz-bonfire-snowboard-jackets.html?utm_source=cj&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=feed&CAWELAID=600004150003955660&avad=932_e14f61159&utm_source=avantlink&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_campaign=816&netid=avant

I like the Bonfire one a lot but it’s sold out. The DC waterproof / breathability is meh

Here you goooo had to link Amazon since Burton is closed for climate change strike. If these don’t come with a liner you could also buy a liner to add a bit more.

Chamonix Talmont Hooded Down Jacket
$110
13.6oz total
4.6oz 850fp goose down

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FSV796N/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_KE6TDbYDM981W

No first hand experience with it, but on paper it looks good.

Also, there's some pretty sweet deals on the Montbell Alpine Light Down Parka, my US Large weighs 14oz and it's really warm, I wore it with a fleece to 18,500ft. Check the Montbell clearance page (both US and JP sites).

As far as 3 season backpacking goes, I think the best combo would be the Cumulus pullover with a 100wt fleece. Modular, light, affordable and warm for <15oz.

I was looking into your comment for the past 3 min, and found this, http://www.amazon.com/HMK-Action-Pants-Black-Medium/dp/B004YHUI5C

For close to freezing and below I’ve used my spring skiing gloves.

Anyone buy these burton pants https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078WZ8CZ5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Love em but after i put em in the wash (cold cycle like as directed) and then in the dryer (on high heat not low like suggested) they came out wrinkled as shit. I ironed them for 20 minutes but they're still wrinkled as all hell. Something with the stretchy material is making really difficult to not make it look like i just woke out of bed wearing them all night. I'm about to return them. Any suggestions?

I rock this http://www.amazon.com/Nike-FLIGHT-Century-Snowboarding-Jacket/dp/B00WFQN1IA but mine is black and blue. One of my favorite purchases of all time. I got mine for 110 though.

Definitely considering them. Although right now I am considering these Burton gloves for aesthetic reasons and the hand warmer pocket, assuming they'll be a similar level of warmth.

I was looking for some light-weight wrist guards that won't impact my ability to hold the remote or other items with my free hand & I came across some by Burton. So far I love them.

So I went to the men's shirt department on Amazon & then just selected streetwear, these are some of the shirts I think he might like if he is a rapper, but this is a non-rapper female perspective so take it with a grain of salt:
Shirt 1
Shirt 2
shirt 3
Shirt 4
Shirt 5
Shirt 6

You said he snapbacks, I don't know if he is a bulls fan but here is a Bulls snapback

For the winter's this is a little pricey but here is a DC winter jacket also here is another down coat still a little pricey though. It's hard to find a cheap winter coat.

For Jeans I would say just get him a few pairs of Levis, everyone likes Levis and they last a while.
Hope that was helpful!
