WOW! The best guide I've ever seen. I suffered a lot to find out the correct gear for the Winter in Toronto. In João Pessoa, Brazil is too easy to find out comfortable clothes (highest of 34,3 and lowest of 19,0 considering all records).
Wow! Thanks so much! Yes, Toronto is just a little more difficult than Brazil ;) I used to always suffer in winters. In Toronto especially I looked for fashion over function, but now gear has both. I think it's all the lighter fabrics now. Dave and I even now, always go out for a walk every day during lock down and don't suffer at all. We just dress for it. Are you still in Toronto? This year hasn't been too bad so far, (knock on wood) but I think we'll be in for it in Feb.
@@ThePlanetD For sure! This year will be great because now we have a wonderful hope: the vaccine. Now, I am in João Pessoa and I moved from Toronto in Oct/19.
To any new Canadians from tropical lands or people wanting to visit Canada and are not use to cold, this guy has the best advice for how to dress in cold weather. I am a Canadian that has lived in Montreal and Ottawa all my life....his advice will save your life!
It’s amazing how technical it gets to dress for the cold! I live in California so I think the coldest it gets even in ski areas doesn’t compare. I just thought “layers,” but it’s really helpful to see the detail of how to choose which specific fabric for each layer, etc!
Lucky you living in California. So beautiful there! Very true, if we wear the wrong layers we just sweat. If I wear my parka when it's only hovering around zero it is too hot. Zero is good for layers and an outer shell and then as it gets colder we add the parka. Dressing for winter is definitely an art. When we dress correctly we can really enjoy the outdoors. When I was younger I used to always be uncomfortable. It'd either be too hot or too cold, now that I've done a lot more outdoor adventures, I know what to wear for each occasion.
Interesting video, Canada has some serious snow! Over here in the UK we've had some bad floods. I recently posted a video documenting the floods in my local area. Crazy times. Have a great year guys 😊🙏👍
Oh no! Sorry to hear you have had some floods. I will head over right now to check it out. Thanks for watching. It's been a strange year here in Canada, it's been mild and rainy and then snowy and cold. Today it's quite cold but very sunny!
@@ThePlanetD thanks for the kind words 🙏. I love the snow and to have a calm sunny day with snow is heaven. Shame we don't get more of it in the UK lol
Viewing from Atlanta and enjoyed your video ! Lived in NYC for over 17 years so miss the winter experience. What is Arcteryx base layer style name ? Any dog sledding destinations you can recommend in Canada?
13:27 I have fun down here in Minnesota as well! Really good breakdown of ideas in this video. definitely showing this to my friends before they come and visit. PS- I never heard of Triple F.A.T. Goose before, but maybe I'll purchase one! Are there any comparable companies that come to mind? (I just wanna get a frame of reference for what they feel like wearing them)
Yes indeed. It can get very cold here. Which part of Canada are you planning on visiting? If you come in the summer, it will be hot, but in the winter, make sure you dress for it. Enjoy!
@@ThePlanetD I m planning on going to Ottawa. I have lived in the US, so I know how is living in subzero temperatures. I m in northern Brazil by the beach. It never goes below 22 C here. But down there in Curitiba where I m from, it does get cold and most of the home dont have central heating. Its expensive, so most ppl just withstand the cold weather on winter with blankets and warm clothing. Its not so bad, but sometimes when its really cold I did miss having heating
@@EduardoPiston Very cool! Lucky you being by the beach right now :) and glad you have already experienced sub-zero temperatures. You are going to love Ottawa, we were just there last week. We have a lot of videos about Ottawa, including winter!

Nice vlog...very informative But I see you also have few Canda Goose parkas ...👍👍 I use only Icebreaker base layer...and socks...they are the best in my opinion. What do you think of the brand Outdoor Survivor parka??
We haven't used an outdoor survivor parka, but I am sure it is great. maybe we'll try that next year! We have Fat Goose and Canada Goose parkas and they are super warm.
@@brijeshshukla4696 Canada Goose is really expensive, but we have tested it up on the Hudson Bay in Winter and it kept us warm. However it is twice the price of triple fat goose. Triple Fat Goose works great for Canadian temperatures here in Ontario where it gets well below -20. I wore it dogsledding this past winter and it kept me toasty warm. For really extreme (for more than -30 I would still choose Canada Goose. I wear my TFG more in the winter at home, but when going far north, I still wear CG.

What a guide. Almost makes winter look appealing. Awesome info and advice.
Thanks!
Your video is very helpful. You definitely relieved me out of my winter misery. God bless you and your wife.

Could you suggest winter clothing that is low income friendly? Thanks so much

I m Edward from Brazil. The video is pretty interesting as I plan on going to Canada next year. I know that I ll get a much colder weather there

@@ThePlanetD Thank you for the answer!
I will also consider Canada Goose I want to purchase soon do you recommend?
@@ThePlanetD Hi, which one would you recommend? TFG or CG if one had to pick one of them?

@@ThePlanetD Thank you so much for the response. Keep up the good work. Look forward to more such reviews. Cheers :)
