What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Thomas Koehle]

Not YOUR usual habitat Thomas, where are you visiting?

South of Germany ...

Since i'm back from the US i constantly travel from the south to the far North of Germany for work and sometimes i come across a patch of snow

These days the weather is not predictable any longer and spots where you haven't seen snow for decades are now having heavy snowfall but other areas where snow was "the normal" are simply "dreid out"

 

[Enigma1938]

You are right - usually not the kind of boots i wear in snow but was just a quick stoppover ...

A proper ww2 shoe combination for such conditions would be that:

Rough Out service boots with arctic over boots.

CAUTION Slippery when iced!

Being Canadian I can tell you, if you’re going to be on ice you need soft, treaded soles. Or hockey skates

Sounds very much like here.

Seconded!

Or what they call "brodder" here, worn over your normal clogs when it's mirror ice.

You can even get strap on cleats here. For the hardcore.

You need them here from time to time. We get a hell of a lot of wind which polishes the ice to mirror finish (speilis). I needed them the other day for work as there was 4 inches thick mirror ice. Also use heavier duty ones when we go up into the mountains over the colder months.

ELC B-15. No gloat-worthy photos as it and I have been posted before.

 

[Pa12]

Reminds of when I was kid living in town. After a good ice storm the streets were full of kids skating on the streets. Back when I was a builder, my go to boots for steel barn roofs was a pair of Clark’s desert boots with gum soles. On a hot steal roof they stuck like shit to a blanket

I’m building a mental picture.

Perhaps better than the reality.

Brett, that looks to be the perfect fit for you. Probably even better than that GW Rough Wear. What do you think?
What beautiful workmanship and hide!
