So whats that involve installing wifi for an outdoor event?

Nah, lighting, sound, generators, power distribution etc.
Think of the outdoor light shows in forest that are all the rage just now.

Can't you just get some thermal leggings to go under your regular work trousers?

Loads of guys wore long johns at work but i thought they were just weak.Real men brave the weather

Builders used to/still do wear womens thick tights under their work trousers just for the warmth.

Thermal long johns work for me, Monday was the first time I wore them for months, it was freezing. Then again I was at work at 3am, and when I wasn't outside working was in an industrial freezer at -21

I feel so lucky that I work in a warm office.

I think a lot of people do, that's why you get the daft 'man up' type comments. They have no idea.

Not the cheapest on the market, but I wear Uniqlo heat tech's stuff if I'm out on-site or in our warehouse. Super comfy, and warm. I may be only in my 20s but I couldn't care as long as I'm warm.

Those men die of hypothermia... and on a work site that often results in an accident that kills other people too.
Any retard can 'brave' it A real man makes himself comfortable under any conditions.

I've got some fleece leggings that I wear winter climbing, they're an absolute god send and have kept me toasty warm while I've been stood around in miserable conditions.

Layers are king when it comes to staying warm. Coming from a newb skier, get a 100% merino base layer (or just the long johns) - either from somewhere like Decathlon or Amazon where you can get some good value-for-money ones. Yes they're more expensive than the typical sporty materials ones, but you can wear them for days at a time before they start to smell so they're a better investment and they usually do a better job at keeping you toasty. The Uniqlo HeatTech stuff comes in a variety of warmth-levels and is ok if you want to buy multiple sets.

Looking for thermal/fleece lined work trousers with holster pockets.

Layers are your friend. Thermal underwear rather than fleecy trousers. I was fine outside in -37 at Kirkenes in ordinary trousers and two layers of thermal underwear.

When it gets real cold (ie. not that cold because London), thermal long johns + my awesome heated jacket is all I need.

Take it any way you like - Boasts about bravery like that are usually uttered by submissives... in which case, you'll take it like you're told to!

It's more the waiting around for something or someone to turn up before you can get on with the job, that the cold is a problem... that, and when you've finished the work, the sweat cools you down and you go hypothermic.
But if braving the cold is the mark of a real man, tell that to Sgt Vince Phillips...

How does a heated jacket work? Is it via heat pads which you activate then reset them in boiling water at the end of the day?

Do cooling pads exist for when it's too hot?

Weren't you the chap whinging because you couldn't go for a swim before your lunch break? What do you know about working in cold environments!

Good to hear all the office warriors telling you to toughen up! Nice one lads.

Aldi actually have some thermal work trousers at the moment for like £11, I got some and they're very warm (too warm at the moment) but no holster pockets just cargo pockets.

Decent though for the money.
