Any body read Ranger Digests by Ranger Rick?  Also look to vapour barriers (plastic bags and neoprene gloves)  When I was "in" we used Neoprene Diving gloves (3mm) under our Leather Shells.  Worked great and for feet put nylon sock, wool sock, plastic bag, GI sock (poly blend) if wool doesnt't bother you then you can get rid of nylon sock
