I have never been much of a colder weather hiker, but this year I think I'm going to give it a shot. I don't like getting all bulked up in clothing and gear, so I'm looking for some advice about how to stay warm without looking like an Eskimo.
Hand and foot warmers! Or anywhere else on your body you want to put them!

Layering is key. I know you don't want to look like an Eskimo, so you may have to pay a little extra for the nicer stuff. I would recommend just carrying a hydration daypack with a pocket large enough for your snacks and enough space to carry an extra layer. Get a nice, breathable base layer, a thin wool (also breathable) shirt, and pants and a jacket with zip vents.
Check out the Mont Tremblant gloves. They are ski gloves so they're super low profile and don't feel bulky at all. Even if you use hiking poles you shouldn't have any issues with these.
