[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2352524, member: 5412"] My time in Korea at 4000' altitude where temps dropped to -75 at times(I won't bore you with the wind chill factors) we had battery powered suits to get from the barracks to OPS. They were always plugged in with wet cell battery packs that warmed water and circulated it through out the suit. With the 50-60 mph constant winds we had to use hand lines to get back and forth. The 100 yd distance could take 1/4 hour at times when fighting the wind. Our high temps was on july 4. A balmy 34 degees f. I can't imagine how many layers it would take to insulate against that.
