i layer and dress when i get on stand so not to sweat. i wear about 3 layers depending on temps. i also read a good idea this year-- putting on one of those therma care heating patches on your kidney area. this is supposed to act as a heater and keep you warm. i am going to try this. as far as rubber boots i agree. no way to keep your feet from sweating and getting cold. but there are some tricks such as wearing a wicking layer of socks and then a wool layer that seems to help quite a bit.
