Can someone recommend clothing for flying in cold weather (32 - 50 degrees) in an open cockpit gyroplane?
  1. I have heard Merino Wool is a great base layer - better than cotton, silk or synthetics. Does anyone have experience with Merino Wool?
  2. How about the mid layer and shell layer? Cockpit is tight - I need thin clothing that allows unrestricted movement.
  3. My gyroplane (on order) will have heated seats and Gerbing plugs for heated clothing.
  4. I will have a Garmin G3X touchscreen. How do I keep my hands warm and use the touchscreen?
  5. What can I buy for use by various passengers of different sizes and shapes to help keep them warm? A blanket may help, but could possibly be blown out and into the prop - not a good idea.
  6. Also, where is a good place to buy this type of clothing? I live in the Atlantic City, NJ area. If not a brick & mortar store, any online stores?


Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks. Joe
