I second the boots. My Merrell hikers have gortex and thinsulate lining, are waterproof, but still breathe through active venting technology. (You step, feel a squish, and hot sweaty air is whooshed out the vents in the sides)

I can really tell the difference when I am wearing them vs not wearing them in cold weather.

I've got Asolos myself. Excellent boots for all weather, although they are hard to find in black, so you might need a new sporran and belt so the leathers match!
