Great list that tells me it has got to be seriously cold where you are running, girl. {brrrrr!}
I laughed at # 4 because I read *layered WICKED tops* rather than *wicking*. heh!

ooooh wicked tops, you gals are such a tease. I like the way your mind works blondie XD
Unfortunately -6F/-21C would mean the wicked tops would be well layered over LOL
And yeah, at those temps, could you really warm up in 10 minutes? I would rather watch golf on tv and see some sunshine and green grass LOL
Mittens are definitely warmer than gloves. Gloves isolate and each finger has to fend for itself. In mittens they benefit from the buddy system and share the heat. Not unlike snuggly with a "buddy" in front of a fire and sipping wine...
Yes, sometimes I'd sooner be buddying up in front of the fire, sipping wine in a "Wicked" top, but alas, I'm out freezing my ass.
hehehehe
