I'll start by saying all my clothes are vegan but they are def not sustainable.
What kind of cold are you talking about? I live in a place that goes to -40C a few times a year, and this is what I generally use: I have a pair of snow pants that I love. I have a parka that goes down to my knees and has a thick hood. I wear boots that are rated for the cold, and might wear 2 pairs of socks. I wear a neck gaiter (those tube things) and a scarf. I have mittens, also works good if you want to keep a heat pack in them.
For every day, I have flannel lined jeans. I have cotton and synthetic sweaters, typically from a thrift shop. I would usually also wear an undershirt.
For me personally, mostly dry cold between 0-5 degrees with occasional heavy snow down to -5.
I was hoping to get information for cold weather in general too for all users, not just my situation.
I noticed Buff sell these made from recycled materials. Their other products are generally non-vegan however.
Do you know the material for these boots? All the waterproof boots I find are various forms of leather.
I am a long time jeans/denim hater but starting to accept they are inevitable if I want vegan, sustainable, warm clothes.
I have the vegan version of a common boot brand for most of the year and that was my year round when I lived in a milder place.
My current winter boots are very clearly snow boots. Not sure if that's something that will work for you. The culture is to change shoes when you are at work or like a doctor's office so you aren't wearing them all day.
The materials are:
Great thank you. It seems like treated nylon is the way to go for a waterproof top layer.
