GORETEX

So currently in LA, starting to get pretty cold. I guess proper LA winter is upon us, especially when the sun is out, it is actually pretty cold.

Solutions —

First, there’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothes. Military grade camouflage goretex jacket, a real one that I got from my brother-in-law Khan who served in Afghanistan, I think this jacket is worth at least $5000, I got it for free, best thing ever. it is quite long, the cortex protects me from all the wind, and when it gets cold, the hood is clutch.

Second, LA SPORTIVA goretex boots. I got a pair from REI, maybe I dropped around 300 bucks, best investment of all time. Also when I was in Providence Rhode Island I bought some alpaca socks, they are phenomenal. Even better than wool, merino wool. Something about the alpaca material is insanely warm, the lanolin animal oil fibers or something almost feels like there is perpetually lotion on my feet. Also breathable and warm, and also not too tight fitting.

For pants and leggings, just get some Marino wool leggings on Amazon, and pair it with some athletic shorts, more than enough to keep your legs warm.

For your core and chest, having a simple moody sleeveless down jacket, without the hood,x is always a good base layer to always wear whenever.
