Winter uniform

[CHUPS_M]

I know that many of you have served in the military. I want to thank you for this. And I also want to ask you for help. My cousin, who is defending Ukraine now, asked me for winter uniforms for himself and three other friends (Parka extreme cold weather - 1M, 3L). The problem is that it is impossible to find anywhere - out of stock. I was advised to look on EBAY for a used one, but there are no suitable sizes. I will be very grateful for any help or advice

Chups, I used to wear thermal underwear under my uniform during winter.

Thank you for answer. I'm just worried that thermal underwear is not enough for the Ukrainian/Russian winter

No. But there is a pattern that during the war, the winters in this region are very cold.

My advice is layers of everything, especially wool if you can get it. With good gortex boots.

Save the money on the winter gear and send him a plane ticket. On "Out-of-Here" airlines.

For an underlayer, if you can't find underarmor, the other brands are ok, it's what I wear ice fishing during the middle of winter. I don't go for the old style waffle-pattern thermal underwear. I like the newer, smooth poly-blend. Silk leggings are great at wicking moisture as well as keeping a little extra warmth in if you can find them. Fleece socks or wool socks. The smaller the thread size the easier they are on your feet if you're expected to walk several miles a day. Some wool socks have huge thread sizes and aren't as comfortable.

Silk leggings in the winter is OK but, in the summer, you might be encroaching into Drag Queen territory.
