Any GoreTex would work equally well. I like Marmot, they have a GoreTex soft shell that I’ve had for probably 10 years.

Usually per my experience soft shell > hard shell because the cloth has a lot of give and allows for activities. Hard shell get restrictive and you tend to lose it very fast unless you are stuck in frigid conditions for a long time.

REI usually has end of ski season sales, and they have a ton of hard shells on clearance.

Dunno where you live. The principle of cold weather protection is in layers.

You need a fleece layer under your GoreTex. You need a wool tee under your fleece. When you get hot from activity you can shed layers to cool down and not have to stop.

No one layer of protection will ever suffice. For lightest weight option look up Backpacking magazines. They review low weight everything in there.

We used to call them hands warmers in Colorado. Costco sold them hand warmers too.

Slip in couple in your shoe while going snow shoeing.

Hand warmers in your boots 🥾 Or buy seal skin boots if you really have the money…

Hey Dudes.

LV and Lami 2000.

Uniqlo. Patagonia.

If it’s not rusted, it isn’t real cast iron lodge!!!

Hey Dudes with winter socks

I was at BBB and saw some flatware that didn’t bend at all for cheap. Might wanna go to the store and check it out?

It was rhetorical question. Buy Bosch or Siemens.

Bosch or Siemens, both are one and the same. You live in Germany right?

Yes and recommended by Le Creuset

Can’t find made in France Fontignac anymore. Only made in China ones.

People don’t have issues seeing “fond” development in cast iron pots.

And how many people develop fonds in their Staubs?

Can’t they pull out their spatulas and see?

Questions that have always kept me up at night….

Pretty colors, apparent reputation, product placement.

None that matters for food preparation.

All toasters are made the same.

Also, use bar keepers friend.

Staub. French. Cheap. Lasts more than humans do.

$150 gets 4QT.

Own a D5 set, that I got super cheap. It’s heavy. Not cast iron heavy, though. Don’t even noticed the orange copper line on it anymore.

I think it’s works well and heats up quick. I would think D3 would function equally well.

I would buy D3 unless you get D5 for cheap.

Would you like to have a vertebral artery clot or tear which can lead to strokes in the back of your brain which can cause you to be paralyzed forever? Because chiropractic manipulation of the neck leads to just that.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Dyson from Costco. Warranted for life.

Do you by any chance do cross fit?
