DW and I will start in Oslo for a few days before boarding a small cruise ship in Bergen Norway. We will slowly sail up the west coast of Norway with several stops and shore excursion opportunities. Alta, Norway will the northernmost city at 69 degrees north latitude. Total trip about 2 weeks.
Reviewing historical temps from Feb 2018 on Weather Underground we expect average temps in the teens through 20's with some lows in the single digits and high's in the 30's. This is quite cold for us since we live in Southern California and personally believe anything below 60 is freezing! The warmest thing I own is a sweatshirt! This trip will be way out of our comfort zone, literally.
Looking for recommendations/experience on clothing. Everything from base layer garments to outerwear (and everything in between).
I've heard about the Under Armour (Base 4.0) and Columbia (Heavyweight II) base layer garments, but $85+ seems outrageous for a pair. However, I know nothing about the new high tech fabrics. I'd rather spend the money on a bottle of Whistle Pig Straight Rye Whiskey!
All comments and recommendations appreciated.
