You skinny fellas sure do have a BIG advantage when it comes to cold weather gear and rain wear. For a fat fella like myself, it takes 2 pairs of heavy socks, thinsulate boots, 1 layer of insulated underwear bottoms, 2 pairs of sweatpants, 2 layers of insulated underwear tops, sweatshirt (sometimes 2), then sweatjacket, plus if it is windy I put my bigcamo.com rain suit over all of it for wind protection. They just don't make good cold weather gear in my size. I bought a "insulated" coverall set last winter and the size that I bought, which is 2 sizes larger than my pant and shirt size was smaller than my pants and shirts. They just don't make this stuff in my size and I wondered why until a very wise person (My Wife) once said "Guys your size does not get out and do the things you do, for most of them are sitting in the house where as you are climbing in the boat to go fishing in the middle of winter". I thought about it and can honestly say that I can't remember seeing 1 single fisherman larger than me on the water in my 3 years of fishing. Even after the fact that I have lost 180 pounds since March of 2004, I am still the biggest guy that I have ever seen out there chasing the swimming creatures. You skinny fellas defineately have the advantage in this area.
