Tomorrow i am going to the field for the first time with a speedball marker. It will be very cold tomorrow (20-30 degrees) which is cold for me. so any suggestions with what to wear in the cold would be helpful. I have hand warmers so i was thinking of having four with one at each foot/hand. I have 2 years of experience with my jackhammer a5. The stuff i have so far are
Drone dx
Rotor
Tank
Squeegee/swabs
pod pack/ pods
extra batteries
all neccesary tools
gloves
mask
fiber cloth
fogdoc just incase
pants
shoes
don't have jersey so just using some empire armor, underarmor, and a sweatshirt

make sure to bring some lube, a DX might have some sticking issues with cold weather. i also reccomend bringing a bunch of water and some fruit to keep your energy up, bananas, apples etc.
i tend to bring a towel to wipe off hits so i don't dirty my mask micro-fiber, you can also stand on it when switching shoes and anything else.

Bring water, snacks, and like said above, another non micro fiber towel to wipe hits. Try to preserve your good towels for the mask.

If you are driving yourself and use your car as base camp like I do, then I recomend bringing a folding chair so you keep your car's interior nice and clean. I like to back into a stall, unfold my chair and use my trunk as my base camp.

Bring something to eat and good amount of water, you can still dehydrate in cold weather. As far as a snack I like peanut butter sandwiches because they have your carbs, good fats and protein. Fills you up nice too depending how big the sandwich is. On what to wear, I wear some sweat wicking material like my under armor thermal, I wear a sweatshirt to keep warm and my paintball jersey. For my legs I don't have leggings so I just boxers, shorts and sweat pants. Make sure to bring extra socks too just in case your feat get really sweaty.
