Post Winter Flight Jackets

Us fighter guys in Canada have just been authorized to wear the green nomex flight suits (a la USAF) we've been fighting for for years. But like any new piece of kit there are the usual teathing problems. We've been issued the green nomex winter flying jackets but are not authorized to wear them while flying due to the "harsh winters". This means we still have to wear our old CF blue flying jackets with the funky 70's fake fur collar. My question is does anyone know what the USAF guys wear in the cold (ie. Elmondorf)? Since according to some, their kit doesn't seem to cut it here.
