Gnarly stuff man, I can’t even wrap my head around -65 lolTo a certain degree yes, depends on how much your sweating. I guess if you sweat alot then a base layer would be much better with the wicking properties it has. Depending on how cold it is and how much 1 perspires then cotton would be ok as cotton breaths really well. The variances in the different wool variances is also very good, and if your super rich you can always opt for Alpaca/ a Sable hat to pair it with lol! I work with lots of guys in the subtrades and depending on coldness and a few other factors they dress/warm up accordingly. Most though when it's -20-25 not gonna happen as most hand tools they use don't like that even cordless ones. So they do not even come out and try and start zoom booms/compressors nor use hand tools. All it would take is 1 guy to slip and fall to the ground off a roof or truss and OHS would have a field day and no one would be working so why risk it. The patch was different when i worked there though all kinds of temps, remember 1 very well St Paul area -55 with wind and we still went out but did nothing for 4hrs then went back to the hotel But worked in all kinds of temps in NWT, AB, Sask, BC crazy now that i think back but toughed it out. My Ole man worked -65 in Prudoh Bay with the trucks nosed into snowbanks running luke warm idled up waiting so they could drop the rig crazy times.
