Looking for pants and a jacket for my wife that is as warm as possible. It will be used in January and February in Montana. The pants need to be good for snow. Everything needs to stop screaming winds. Being waterproof is a big plus.
I've been looking for bibs with insulation and gore-tex, but it doesn't seem like anybody makes them anymore. In general, I'm not seeing warm winter clothes with gore-tex. Is there a reason for this? "New technology"? All my clothes are older and have this setup.
I like that my items are waterproof and warm in one product and I don't need two $300 jackets to achieve the same thing.
Do puffy jackets alone stop wind?? I'm totally out of the loop on how these setups are supposed to work. Suggestions on good places to read up?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
