how to keep warm and dry in norway in february

My wife and I enjoy a winter break in Scandanavia and we've just returned from a trip to Oslo, Stavanger and Bergen and we tried to be as environmentally friendly as possible so after flying to Oslo we used trains, buses and ferries for the trip.

Highlights of the trip included:
  • The Fram Polar Museum in Oslo
  • The Petroleum Museum in Stavanger

Having long supported Rohan Designs I thought I'd list below the key items from them  we used on this trip with heavy snow encounters as well as rain and a temperature range from -11C to +10C.
