A hammock sock and down pants, Santa. I've been very good... well, not exactly bad... uhm... I didn't punch several people when I REALLY wanted to.

Just order my down pants, down jacket, new snowshoes and some assorted winter gear this morning, with my wife's full knowledge and approval. The UGQ winter dream tarp already arrived in Nov. Now I just have to finish the winter hammock and quilt set. Hopefully looking forward to a cold and blustery winter.

I asked for a wool long sleeve shirt, hat, long underwear and liner gloves. I also asked for an antigravity gear jacket as well as a yard or two of sil or impetus 1.2 or cuben for a set of over mitts. I got my wife a new 9 tray Excalibur dehydrator. That may have been partially in my own interest
I went with the MontBell U.L. TEC Down Pants, primarily based on positive reviews and features. I wanted 800 fill, the full length side zippers allowing the pants to separate so they can be put on while wearing boots, snowshoes, or ski's, and the reinforcements on legs to prevent damage from brush. Since I am planning on using them as part of layering, I did not want to go with an extremely heavy set, and should be able to get use out of these from late fall through early spring.
The final icing on the cake was finding them for $125.
Love the BioLite stove. I though Santa was gonna bring me one, but, alas, it was not to be. Saving my pennies now. Too cool NOT to have one.
