I wear Polartec Windbloc fleece jackets from LL Bean. Cheaper than Mountain Hardwear and just as good…six Vermont winters have proved that. I used to work for Eastern Mountain Sports so I have a ton of their gear. All of it is good stuff. A bit less-expensive than TNF…but I really don’t care about what logo is on my jacket either. My mountaineering coat is a Precision Mountaineering “Expedition” jacket. I’ve had that for a few years. I only break it out when it’s like +10F or lower. Still can’t complain about my Obermeyer insulated ski pants either…$50 on sale at the Jay Peak ski shop of all places! Mid-season too…and it was cold (like -15F) the day I bought them. I also have a pair of Campmor “Ascent” bibs I bought about 8 years ago. These have been delegated to my snowmaking wardrobe. However, they have taken a beating…especially last year. But they just refuse to die. I’ve had to send them for repairs a few times, but I beat the snot out of them. I keep them clean and treat them with the appropriate washing chemicals and they are almost as good as when I bought them. I also used a Red Ledge coat when snowmaking…same company as Campmor. That wouldn’t die either. Last year it was +12F, I was running from snowmaking gun to gun, making adjustments,, getting SOAKED and all I was wearing was my Campmor bibs, the Red Ledge jacket, a pair of EMS fleece pants and a EMS Thermo-techwick shirt…I was roasting hot and very dry.

Also… the best winter gloves I own…and I have a LOT…were $25 winter leather work gloves from Wal-Mart with Thinsulate and some generic waterproof membrane…Tough Duck was the brand. I can put my hand in front of a snow cannon and it gets neither cold or wet.

Oak Park would be a good choice but travel to Palatine would be about 45 min. Forest Pk is next door. A choice not mentioned that is worth looking into is Park Ridge. It’s approx. 1/2 way between both suburbs. It is also has connections on Metra to both Palatine and downtown. It is also close to CTA conection to downtown. I-90 is at the southern border so travel would be fairly easy to Palatine & the Loop. Travel to Forest Park would be the slowest but it’s not that bad.

Schools and neighborhoods are both good. Your budget on renting will fit in. Nightlife might be a little low key but with the connections mentoned anything you wnt is not that far away.
