Snrub,
You naughty man! I have to admit whenever I hear about kneepads I think of a joke about Monica Lewinski marketing them.
One thing that I really don't go out in the cold without anymore, when it's really cold, is a bellclava the wife recently knitted me. Not only does it protect the face in biting cold and wind, but it is long enough to tuck around the neck under my jacket to keep the cold from going down my neck.
As far as boots I'm stuck on the white Mickey boots I was issued in the ANG. Never found anything better, and ice water if it gets in, will actually be warmed up by the heat from your feet. I kid you not! Been there done that. Be aware there are Chinese knock offs out there.
And the Air Force Parka and pants are also hard to beat!
I was given a bright orange survival suit recently by a Canadian friiend of my dad's that worked on hydro dams there. Not sure what to do with it as it's for a guy over 6 feet and I'm only 5 feet 8 inches. Maybe sell it on Ebay?
