[foshione@dteenergy.com (Elizabeth A. Foshion)]

I'm starting at Springer on April 1st. This is my clothes list and
rationales. I've listed everything - I won't be carrying all this at
once. Layering is my god. Comments welcome.

First proviso - I get chilled easily and sleep very cold.

Merril light boots (well broken in)
Teva sandals (once the weather warms up)
Wigwam merino wool liner socks - 2 pr. (cold)
Smartwool hiking socks - 1 pair (cold)
Ragg wool socks - 1 pair (for sleeping)
REI silk liner socks - 2 pair (warm)
Smartwool long underwear (cold)
Prospirit nylon running tights
Prospirit nylon long-sleeve top
Prospirit nylon jogging bra
capilene underwear - 2 pr. (prevents hip rash)
merino wool sweater (very thin)(cold)
fleece jacket (very thin)(cold) - $5 on sale at KMart!
microfleece gloves
capilene glove liners (cold)
knit hat
fleece overhat (cold)
silk sleep shirt (perfect for late night privy runs or wearing while
doing laundry)
