Subject: RE: BS: What's Kendall Been Up To Recently?
No padding... just thick, tight wool. When I was a lad, we didn't have 6-in-1 hi-tech parkas and pants with "layering" and Thinsulate and breathable but waterproof this and that. We had wool Humphrey jackets and pants over thick cotton longjohns and t-shirts (unless Dad had some old wool underwear from his army days that he didn't want to wear anymore). And we played and rolled around in the snow for hours on end. Simpler days. Good days.
