Hi
noting that you've a face-to-face in January I thought it might be
helpful to share my clothing experience after having visited Patrick in
Tampere.
Mistakes:
- canvas baseball boots
The canvas got too cold and wet
- leather jacket
Not warm enough for outside, and too bulky to go under a coat.
Hence, unwearable.
Good things:
- leather boots
- light summer clothes to form extra layers, e.g. t-shirts, or light
summer trousers that can go under or over something else
- leg warmers
- long socks
- winter coat
- ski outfit (although this was more for going sledding and the like,
probably not necessary for F2F)
I basically wore about three layers top and bottom, plus winter coat. A
fleece might have been good. I remain unclear as to how many fun sauna
opportunities I missed through not having taken swimming trunks. (I
haven't understood the sauna dress code).
I took what seemed like a lot for a long weekend, but used it all.
Temperature in Tampere varied from about -10 to +3, I don't know how
that compares with Helsinki in January.
Feel free to foreward (or link) to DAWG if appropriate
