Recommend a brand of winter wear?

Marino wool against your skin is absolutely the most important. Throw out all your cotten - it's completely useless in the cold. Also a high quality wool toque (beanie).

I can walk around in -20C wearing a marino base layer and my "light" down jacket no problem, while people wearing 4 layers of cotton freeze their asses off.

Other names include: sock hat, knit hat, knit cap, sock cap, stocking cap, tossel cap, ski hat, toboggan, burglar beanie, "watch cap", woolly hat, snookie, sugan or chook.

A knit cap is commonly referred to as a watch cap by members of the United States Military as the head gear worn while "standing watch" on a ship or guard post.
