I've been trying to figure out how to keep my feet and shins warm during January and February.
I have boots that were made for extreme cold, but under about 15 deg F the feet still get kinda cold. and no matter how I tuck in and fasten down my pant cuffs, they still work loose. this causes a spot where that wind can get in and chill me right in the shin.
I wear hard-shelled knee pads. They keep the knees from freezing. So I've begun to think about the shin guards that hockey goalies use. If I remember right, that'll cover knee to ankle. Add boot covers and I'll bet you've got a good setup.
But it's likely to cost $100.00 or so. I'll do it if I have to, but I keep wondering if something can be done with common household items.
any ideas?
