Make sure you are wearing plenty of warm clothes on your arms, and a pair of thick ragwool gloves with thinsilate liners works wonders. Like Libby said, wool stays warm, wet or dry. Hmmm - I never heard that one before. I've been concentrating on keeping my torso and head warm and haven't thought at all about arms and legs. I know my legs aren't warm because when I come in, the skin there is kind of numb. I always figured I had enough padding on my thighs that cold wouldn't make any difference. ------------------------ Lif Strand, Research Associate Southwest Center for Resource Analysis Western New Mexico University (505) 773-4897 (505) 212-0108 FAX
