I work in the Geophysical Industry and have to be outdoors all day in -10 F weather. Besides the parka what other clothing is recommended such as wind pants, gators, underwear, etc. I am from Texas and not use to working in cold weather. Thanks.

Jim, I'd suggest a polypropylene baselayer bottom, then expedition-weight fleece pants and a waterproof, windproof shell pant that's durable enough to withstand your work. This is a VERY, VERY warm jacket, so up top you ought to be fine with baselayer and a fleece shirt or wool sweater over that, depending on the day's forecast. The polypro underwear will keep your skin dry should you start to move or sweat, and staying dry helps your body to regulate its temperature. On your feet, I'd recommend the Sorel Caribou or another pac boot with a thick, hunting-style wool sock, and for your hands, I'd recommend a pair of trigger-finger expedition mitts or heavily insulated leather work gloves like the Kinco 901 (Google them). Good luck.
