I fully intend to wear it in the summers, our harsh eastern canadian winters. I wouldn't tell you I'll shovel the yard in one, but you know. Frankly with my 16oz 8 yard I think I'd be far more likely to wear it in the deep winter and than in mid summer. I'd rather be kinda cold than power warm... though I hear wool breathes well.

With my terrible circulation knees down, massive hose will be the critical part.
