Location: California | All I can say is I pray for you  I spent an entire winter there a couple of years ago (from Cali) and it was one of the coldest and longest winters they have ever have. I am cold blooded so I struggled immensely. All I can say is layers - leggings, double socks, GLOVES AND EAR COVERS. I don't think it is one jacket more so than layers - thermal, sweat shirt, a couple jackets etc. I put hand warmers in my boots and in my gloves. I learned what winter blues were. However, if it is just a trip then I think you will enjoy it - beautiful place/different culture. |

Location: LuluLand~along I64 Indiana | im gonna make a plug for a store you dont have in cali. Rural King is offering a heated jacket. since my daughter is a rural king queen she has me hooked on this coat. its loose enough for a hoddie underneath, light enough if need be put a parka on over it. they also have a vest version i believe. so when ya get to ohio check out the nearest rural king store or they do online sales too. |

| What will you be doing?
If mostly inside something like a puffer coat would be fine if you’re just going from car to building etc. I have a cheap TekGear that cuts the wind and does the job.
If you’ll be outside then we love our carharts. I ride in my bibs regularly. |
