Here in Los Angeles the past few nights, it's dipped into the 50s so I brought out the lamb Wested.

We're flying out of Nashville to Wyoming today. Leaving from the mid to upper 70's, and will be landing in the upper 40's, lower 50's with low 20's at night.
Talk about system shock!!!
Talk to you guys on the 'flip side'.

53 and rain over here... been wearing my Wested lamb for a couple of weeks already. In a few more weeks, it will be way too cold for it...

In a few weeks? Yeah right. I have worn my lamb down to five degrees, but when it was -4 (-20°C) I had to change to something more heavy. Of course it was only when I considered the option of not cycling to school every day.

I wouldn't wear the Wested in 4 below temps... sure, I ordered the jacket with sweater room, but it's too short for serious winter use, IMO.
My Schott N3-B parka has never let me down during the cold season though...

I have a Schott A-2 for the "cold" weather out here (40s and lower). If I wear it with a sweater, it's good for real winter weather (20s and lower)
