"I grew up in Montana, where in August, I shivered while posing next to one of our state's favorite roadside attractions, a three-story penguin statue, proclaiming, "Welcome to the coldest spot in the nation." Montana is still home, but in my career as a travel writer, I regularly visit places that reach subzero temperatures, from Antarctica to Alaska. One time, I tent camped in Greenland on the world's second-largest ice cap."
"I wore these fleece-lined leggings on a winter safari in Grand Teton National Park. Not only were we successful in spotting wolves, but I was warm enough to post up at a spotting scope for hours. More recently, I wore them while Christmas market hopping in Northern Europe in December. Even with the ample fleece lining, these leggings aren't bulky; I prefer the three-pocket style because I don't like having to unzip my bag to pull out my phone when it's cold,"
"As someone who has anemia-a complication of having Crohn's disease-I get cold easily, but I don't let it hold me back. Instead, I've accumulated an impressive collection of winter gear that allows me to survive subzero temperatures, whether I'm ice canoeing in Quebec or simply walking my dog at home in Montana. The following is a list of my favorite cold-weather essentials, from budget-friendly finds like fleece-lined leggings to splurge-worthy lifesavers like a down jacket."
I grew up in Montana and regularly visit subzero destinations including Antarctica, Alaska, Greenland, and Quebec. I tent camped on Greenland's ice cap where the high was about 5°F. I have anemia from Crohn's disease and get cold easily, so I built a collection of winter gear to stay comfortable while ice canoeing, walking my dog, or market hopping in Northern Europe. Key items include Baleaf fleece-lined leggings with three pockets and water resistance, DG Hill thermal socks for insulated boots, and down jackets for extreme cold. Options range from budget-friendly to splurge-worthy.
