I am a weenie when it comes to cold weather ... which we very, very seldom get down this far south. About 10F is as cold as it will get ... but humidity can be high. I had a brain-fa%t a few years back. Did nothing for cold hands, but cures cold feet and body !!!! Bought a used "army issue" cold weather sleeping bag at a "gun show' for $15. Wife cut the hood off, sewed it back up, added suspenders .... and I had a "body bag" that came up to about my arm pits. It is bulky for sure and certainly restrictive ... but I can easily stand in it. It is useless if it is raining. But for good weather "stand sitting" .... or hanging out all day in a shooting house, add a bulky over coat, the combo is super cozy.
