Cold weather in Florida? ? ? ?
On the jacket- Providing you can layer up then you need a windproof to keep the cold out. I know I keep on about the material but Pertex works but only if it is dry. There must be other materials that work just aswell but I know Pertex works. Sealskinz work in a similar way in that they keep the wind out but with the added benefit of being breathable and waterproof. Legs and it has to be well below freezing for me to wear leggings but I do have KNickers that are long shorts that cover the knees. And I have found the boot covers really keep the wind and wet of of the shoes so keeping them warmer.
