Clothes to wear in winter

[smyith]

Over the past few winters i have been playing to keep myself for getting rusty. I have found a great combo of clothes to wear that are unrestricting and WARM! In fact me and a buddy were able to play like this right before a billzard came a few years ago. we only left the park cause the wind was no fun to throw in.

Long sleeve shirt
Fleece
windbreaker (the key to dealing with it.)
Long underwear for the legs
Denim jeans
windbreaker pants
waterproof shoes

so really what i was wondering if anyone has a better combo that restricts even less? i haven't found one that beats this.

Two other things help me when I'm skiing and I plan on wearing them this winter:

1  Tight, long sleeve, lycra blend?, thermal undershirt.  They are silver and can be found at a ski shop.
2  Undersocks made of the same stuff.

Those of you who ski can relate that it gets really cold on a mountain in the winter.  Ski shops are a great resource for non restrictive, really warm winter clothing.

Seal skin socks will keep your feet warm and dry.  Make sure to wear a good warm hat.  Ice cleats are very helpful once it gets icy.  Mark Ellis no longer uses ice cleats.  Now he gets a pair of waterproof, thick soled, hi-tech hiking boots and he puts short screws into the bottoms of them.  If you can afford a dedicated pair of disc golf shoes, that really works great for Mark.

UnderArmor ColdWear is the way to go.  There is nothing warmer.  Wear it for all my sports and when i go snowmobiling.  Makes me sweat my *#^ off but i stay warm.  You can get it at SportsMart/SportsAuthority or the like.  The tops and pants are about 50$ a peice but well worth it.  All you need is something like a sweatshirt over it and you will stay warm.  It also acts as a wind braker.

I  have been cold weather biking forever.  Disc Golf is still active but not as active as cycling.  I figure disc golf requires a little more, but not much more, insulation that biking (or x-country skiing for that matter.)  I have only disc golfed for one winter  I have biked for...well a lot of them.

Yesterday, while some of the boys were playing glow, I was riding home from work.  I wore non-insulated tights over my shorts, fleece socks, a base layer of a high tech fabric, a light (100 weight) fleece sweater and a windbreaker.  I suspect I would have worn the same getup for golf except I might simply wear a pair of loose fitting khackis rather than tights.  I think denim blows because it doesn't move as well as the tights.  I also wore a polyproplene balaclava over my head.  THis is a lighweight face mask like an executioner wears in old movies. Not needed for Golf until it is much colder.  Normally, a regular winter hat that covers your ears is fine. I look like a doofus but the balaclava is real light and keeps me nice an warm.  If its too much I roll it up and wear it like a skull cap.

When its colder I will add a warmer, thicker layer of fleece to the top and insulated tights.  If I don't want to look like Robin Hood while playing golf I will wear the tights under a pair of rain pants.  I can also wear a windpoof fleece to avoid wearing the windbreaker.  

I wear waterpoof hiking boots to play golf pretty much year round.  I wear trail running shoes or Teva's in warmer weather.  I am amazed that the Teva's still give me pretty good support.  However, my big toe on my driving foot takes a beating if I play more than 36 holes.

My rule of thumb is the stupider you look the smarter you are.  They are freezing or can't rotate on their throws.  You are right where you want to be.  It aint a fashion show.  My kids have a hard time figuring this out.  Of course, that's a universal problem with winter.
