Visiting Canada/Edmonton in March
Discussion
Off to visit a friend in Edmonton in march and i think it might be cold. bearing in mind i come from London lol.
This won't be a bushcraft outing so it will be more general lifestyle type clothing.
Can anyone advise me on how cold it normally gets around that time of year and what the locals wear during their day to day lives?
I've looked at Canada Goose clothing and as wonderful as it looks it's simply out of my price range.
I'm guessing i'll be looking at anywhere between -10 to -40 and i won't be hanging around too long in the -40's! the person i'm visiting was pretty vague about what she wears in the winter but i get the gist of a michelin man type outfit or generally wearing most of her clothes at once.
I was thinking a good thermal undies layer, thin fleecy mid layer and perhaps a decentish parker? I already have fleece lined craghopper trousers that i guess will be fine with long johns or am i being naive?
I know there isn't a lot to look at apart from the mall lol but we will be going to calgary etc sightseeing i guess.
Any recommendations on mid range gear?
Thanks
Ian

You should ask your friend - he might know... This won't be a bushcraft outing so it will be more general lifestyle type clothing.

I was there last month. 
Info here.
Are you going to be outside for any length of time? If not, surely what you've got will be fine for "car to bar" typ exposure.
Have a good trip.
BTW - the much fabled Mall ain't that impressive so don't get your hopes up.
Cheers,
Eric
