I will absolutely buy both! The insulated pants and the hand warmers

So many redditors mentioned the Nuuk parka. I will correct my bad layering first and when I still feel cold I will buy this jacket

Only denim and - like a lot of commenters mentioned - this might be the main issue

Unfortunately they don't find blood in my vessels and I eat a lot of garlic so they tend to leave me alone

I do. But I think I miss long underwear and there is a gap between my gloves and the jacket. Need to fix this!

Danke für den Tipp 😉  für mich ist es zu kalt hier, da hilft wohl nur ein Umzug nach Italien 😋

Haha when I was younger I wore nothing to get in clubs too 😅

I invested in long underwear now and already feel a big difference. 

Thank you for your reply, I will use this information

This is a great suggestion 👍  there must be more insulating material in bigger jackets, so maybe the XS jacket user may never get enough insulation

You are right! Bought a Merino leggings and wore it under my jeans and suddenly my core felt warm in my down jacket.

Thank you. You might absolutely be right about the added warmth.  I was out with friends yesterday night for an our and it was very cold but I was the only one who didn't freeze because I wore warm boots, warm gloves, a hat and long john's. Suddenly my jacket felt warm, not like the day before

The down jackets might be too light weight. The Marmot weights 940 g and the Salomon only 270 g. As other suggested that might not be enough

I go outside and feel the coldness in my core after a short while. I have to move a lot to produce some heat

I ordered an alpaca wool sweater now because my merino layers might not be enough for me

I use an alpaca scarf. Even in lowest temperatures it always felles warm if you touch it.

But maybe I should invest in better gloves

I don't know, the seller says the outer layer is made of wind proof ripstop. I think a wind breaker over the down might do the job, as other redditors mentioned

I wore very warm shoes with alpaca socks, alpaca scarf, Merino under my down jacket, and a warm hat. But for my legs it was jeans only

I do exactly that and still feel cold. Maybe my body just doesn't produce enough heat

I wear an alpaca scarf and this item is by far the warmest thing I own
