Redingote
Hooded Winter Insulated Jumpsuit
Hydrow Rowing Machine.
I just recently purchased one of the Redingote winter jumpsuits as I live in Kentucky and I hate to be cold.
Thus far I have worn it out to some outdoor church services that my church has held. I have yet to step indoors for any mass gatherings because of Covid. For now they will be my "church" clothes until warm weather.
The first time I wore these the outside temps were 24 degrees fahrenheit with snow and strong gusts of wind. All that I wore under them was a pair of fleece pants and a quilted pullover. The Christmas Eve service was just over an hour long. I was warm and dry but not too hot. My legs were warm but my upper body was a tad cool. I tried them again for our Sunday service and wore another light fleece layer and was toasty warm although it was a little warmer this time.
For the price, I wished that I did not have to layer under them. Overall I would recommend them to anyone wanting a winter jumpsuit with all the features that they offer.

Winter Gloves
I really wanted to like these gloves. The video clip showed the person enjoying winter outdoor activities without issue. The reviews were good from the ones I read. I guess I did not read enough. The gloves pictured are my actual gloves (hence the mud on the gloves). They were supposed to be waterproof, wind proof, shipped in 5-7 days, and warm with great dexterity. Sounds great! I'll take them. I unfortunately did purchase them. Now I am stuck with them. I thought this was an American company. They came from China and took forever to get shipped! I have no idea where to ship them back to.
Word to the wise, DO NOT PURCHASE THESE!!!
I just started my rowing machine journey a few days ago. I received a Hydrow rowing machine for Christmas & had it for about two weeks before setting it up. I had a great fear of it being difficult to set up since I am not very tech savvy. I had joined the Hydrow Training Camp Facebook page & jumped on there for a few questions I had about the setup. The people on the page are just regular owners of Hydrow machines. I can tell you that it is a true community that really wants to help in whatever way they can. Turns out that set up was super easy & I am into my first full week of rowing.
Pros:
It is a great workout. It works 86% of your muscles. They have live and on-demand workouts for rowing, yoga, pilates, strength training and more. The trainers are totally amazing. They really make you want to do your personal best & get back on the machine for your next workout!
Cons:
The only thing that would be a con is the price. The price point (with the current offer) is around $2000.00. But they do have a payment plan to help get this amazing machine into your home.
I hope this helps if you have been on the fence about your next workout machine. In this time of Covid staying healthy is my priority. Staying away from crowded & not so clean places (a regular gym) is a must.
