Best place to buy warm clothing for observing in Sydney?

[mbaddah (Mo)]

Hi all

Was wondering where is the best place to purchase clothing for outdoor observing in Sydney? With Winter approaching (even now in Autumn nights have been freezing) I would like to be well prepared for the cold, as I'm finding two jumpers, two pants etc.. isn't enough.

Help is greatly appreciated thanks

Have you tried freezer suits? With matching boots?

They are absolutely awesome, and the perfect thing for observing during the winter months. They're becoming a more common accessory and more and more people at SPSP (for example) are walking around in them.

Get them off Geoff (GTB_an_Owl) at http://www.gtbastrowise.com.au/

I use mine at home every night while imaging Jupiter at 4am.

Thanks for the link.

I am thinking of getting a freezer suit myself.

Where can you get one with a IIS logo on it?

We've been talking about getting some reflective tape to sew on them

You guys are legends thanks for that

The freezer suit is great and certainly warm enough, but I need to source some thermal leggins or something as I find that as I move around, cold air leaks in at some places and can be a little uncomfortable on bare skin

I heard ALDI have thermal longjohns etc on sale this week.

Also if you dont mind second hand gear Salvos and Vinnies usually have a lot of skigear for next to nix

"Sew"? C'mon - self-adhesive for those of us without the necessary skills?
