Do you have a neck gaiter? That's a great thing to have in your pocket
and the extra heat it gives you is huge compared to it's size.

That's for sure. *All those major blood vessels close to the surface

Hey, does Turtle Fur make diapers? You should know, Stallard.

Yup. Nice one made of turtle fur.

Turtle fur?

Cute name for synthetic mumblesomething. Soft fleece without that nasty
micro-fiber feel.


Turtle fur wearables are made in Vermont. The
silky soft fabric is sustainably harvested from
the far northern turtles found on the shores of
Lake Champlain.

The above is kind of old. I'm sure Turtle Fur
has expanded, in fact they now have wearables
in merino wool, which is harvested from merino
sheep. The above note is pretty much where
they started.

I disliking clicking on URLs because 99% of the time they are crap,
spam, advertising, won't load, can't be found, other error messages,
or just crap. I made the mistake of clicking on this one and all I
got was a picture of Turtles Playing Poker.

Let me guess. Turtle fur comes from box turtles

A really good story but hardly true. I think you
will find that the so-called "fur-bearing trout" or
"beaver trout" are really a variety of grayling.

(see Howard Frank Mosher, "On Kingdom Mountain")

Keep clicking, man, there's more.

Yup. Nice one made of turtle fur. I only really notice how cold it is on
the lift -- thank you, Mr. Adrenaline. Or maybe just Mr.
Concentration-on-other-stuff...

I use a balaclava double layer 100% nomex fine threaded no wind passes.
never get cold with it, try to blow through your head sock my blocks any
air. I can stand on mountain and be a gate judge and the only thing that
gets cold is my boots from standing in snow.

I actually did a yahoo search on turtle fur. It's a company in
Vermont that makes winter wear for women and children. Turtle fur is
not made from turtles and it's not made from fur. It's just their
specially woven type of fleece. (In other words you pay more for
something you can get cheaper at Wal-Mart.)

I bought some hiking socks at an outdoor adventure shop. They're made
from mountain goat wool. With a good pair of boots my feet stay warm
in all weather.
