Detecting Clothes, Boots...

[KennyfromGA]

Hi there folks,

Since I live in GA I haven't bought a winter coat in years. Just own medium weight jackets. Since I'll be detecting soon I will probably need something warmer.
Can you guys give me any tips on a good brand(s). I've heard of Down,Gortex, and Thinsulate as fillers but not sure which is best.
Also, I think I may buy some Snake Boots that protect from bites. There are several poisonous kinds around here. Anyone own a good type you would recommend?


Thanks Much!

Kenny

I don't know about boots as that is all in personal style and taste. But...I would not get a down jacket as moisture can be a problem, personal experience. I prefer Gortex as it is better at water shedding. I usually wear a thinsulate undergarment to insulate then put on a Gortex jacket or wind breaker. Wool socks are key!!! This all just my opinion though. Go with what is comfortable to you! Hope this helps,
Travis

BOOTS and CHAPS and long johns the only way to go lol

Staying warm is layer's. I wouldn't worry too much about the snake's, after a couple of frost's they become sluggish. I personally won't go into the wood's without snake-boot's. HH
