Tested new coat in Arctic conditions
I ventured outside in my new coat tonight in the -2 degree weather with windchills down to -17. Verdict: Coat and warming system performs admirably. I have three problems, however. Firstly, It is difficult to talk on the phone while totally bundled up, something that will need to be rectified with a custom mic job. Secondly, my glasses fog up. I need either wipers or some way to protect my eyes and the glasses from fog. Thirdly, there's about a foot of my legs above the boot but below the coat that needs some sort of reinforcement. Perhaps flannel, perhaps long johns. At any rate, the Squach winter apparatus is getting ready to roll.
