"Cathy's Suits"

Part 1

Cathy cursed softly under her breath as the vehicle slid momentarily on some ice. Even Winter tyres and 4 wheel drive had their limits I guess. She quickly regained control, turned to me and said, "I'd better slow down a bit it's getting pretty nasty". I wasn't particularly worried as she'd shown many times that she was comfortable driving on snow covered roads.

The short Winter day was ending and I looked out on the snow covered trees, all alike in the half gloom. As I settled back in the comfortable leather passenger seat I couldn't help remembering how we'd met.

It was one of those local events, an ice festival I think, which was sponsored by the company that we both worked at. It was a Wednesday night, a cold night, but we were all expected to attend the grand opening. Fearing the worst I'd wrapped up well, proudly wearing my new North Face Himalayan parka, reveling in its insulating warmth. I had considered wearing the matching pants but figured, correctly, that I would look out of place. Instead a couple of layers of long thermal pants under fleece lined jeans were just holding the cold at bay.

I'd chatted to a few people I knew when I spotted Cathy standing by herself looking at some of the sculptures. I knew she worked on the same floor as me but had no idea what she did. She had her own office in the legal department and was in her late forties and kind of attractive in a "girl next door / outdoorsy" sort of way. She always looked severe with short brown hair and dressed quite conservatively although admittedly most of her outfits looked pretty expensive. Anyway, that night she was wearing a long North Face coat, with the hood pulled up, but the hood was trimmed with a superb fur ruff.

After exchanging pleasantries and small talk I decided to take the plunge, "Is that the North Face Triple C coat? It looks really warm". "Yes," she replied with a smile, "It's fantastic, like wearing a sleeping bag. And it's last year's 700 fill power version, not the 600 that they sell now." She continued, "I like your Himalayan parka, do you have the pants as well?" "Er, yes", I answered, momentarily stunned by this level of detail. I blundered on, "I like the fur on the hood as well, that's not standard is it?" "No," she replied with a smile, "My cousin is in the fur business and she put it on for me."

This conversation was not going in the direction that I imagined. I had expected a quick chat and look at her coat and then we'd run out of conversation. After a moment's silence I decided to press on and see how far I'd get.

"I thought of buying a down suit rather than the parka and pants but figured that it wouldn't be as flexible." "No it's not," she replied, "but suits are so much warmer. I've got a couple actually and I wouldn't be without them when I go up to the mountains in the Winter. My parents have a cabin up there."

Wow, she's got two down suits. Now I was really hooked, I had to see how far this conversation would go.

"Yeah, you're probably right, I should get one as well. What do you wear underneath them, I guess you could overheat pretty easily."

She looked at me as if considering something then said, "To be honest most of the time I don't wear anything underneath. Especially around Peak View." ( a local ski resort and mountaineering centre ). She paused then went on, "Does that shock you?"

Holy shit, what had I stumbled into here!

"A bit," I replied non committally, "but it sounds very interesting. I would imagine you'd need a really cold day but I can see how that would be fun."

"Good," she said with a smile, "Tell you what, the weekend is meant to be cold, how do you fancy a Saturday afternoon out naked in a down suit? My spare suit is a bit big for me so it should fit you."

I was so stunned I could only mumble, "Yes please".

"Great," she replied, "I'll pick you up about one. I'll bring the suits, remember nothing on underneath"

Part 2

Fast forward to the following Saturday and I was sitting in the front passenger seat of Cathy's SUV in a remote corner of the ski resort car park wearing her old but perfectly serviceable North Face down suit with zilch on underneath. She sat next to me wearing a newer Mountain Hardware suit. I suppose that I should have considered that this was some sort of elaborate wind up but frankly I couldn't care less and it was only by a massive amount of self control that I didn't just come all over the inside of her suit.

"Just to prove that I meant it," she said, and unzipped her suit revealing her naked body. I didn't know what to say, I thought that this sort of thing only happened in 80s soft porn movies, although I did notice that she had very nice breasts.

I did the honourable thing and unzipped my suit as well. She couldn't help but notice that I had a massive erection and comment, "You seem pretty excited, shall we step outside?"

The day was cold and windy, the sky overcast and the air full of snow. She pulled up my suit hood and fastened it tightly and gave me a pair of down mittens to match the suit, "Here, put these on or your hands will freeze." I was thankful that she'd thought of them as my hands were pretty cold and I was grateful to sink them into the mittens. She pulled up her hood and also put on a pair of mittens which matched her suit. Then she took my mittened hand in hers and we set off through the trees.

The car park was in a hollow and as we climbed up the full force of the wind hit us and we quickly tightened our hoods so that only our eyes were showing. We must have looked a bit strange but there was no one about and very quickly I felt totally exhilarated and totally protected in my down cocoon.

After about an hour walking slowly through the trees, saying nothing to each other, Cathy asked if I wanted a coffee. It was difficult to hear through the thick down hood enveloping my head but I nodded and we headed to a refreshment bar at the bottom of one of the slopes.

The cafe was about half full so we got some coffees and sat on some stools near the window. The cafe wasn't heated very well and what with people coming in and out all the time it was pretty chilly in there. I pulled down the hood and took off one mitten to drink my coffee, but I was glad of the enveloping warmth of the suit.

We chatted about generalities at first but after a while I said, "You took a bit of a chance when we first spoke."

"Not really," she replied, "I could see that you were interested in my coat and when you started talking about down suits I knew that we had a shared interest. In any case if you spooked who was going to believe your story over mine. I would have just denied everything"

"But you lent me a suit and came up here with me alone."

She smiled, "I did check up on you. Your Engineering Manager is an old friend and he said you were reliable, he thinks quite highly of you by the way. Didn't you think it was a practical joke?"

"Possibly, but to be honest I didn't care. The thought of walking around in just a down suit with you dressed the same was too much."

She chuckled, and was then serious, "Can I ask you a question?"

I nodded, sipping my coffee.

"Would you have been so attracted if this was Summer and I'd invited you on a hike? Let's face it I'm no bikini model and my lack of serious relationships to date is beginning to worry my mother."

I considered and decided that honesty was the best policy, "Let's face it I'm no relationships expert but I do know that although physical attraction seems important to start a relationship, it's less important as time goes on. I suppose in this case not being a bikini model didn't matter when I found out that you owned two down suits. Mind you from the brief glimpse that I had you've got a sensational body."

I reached over and took her mittened hand in mine, "And I would like to see more of that sensational body."

She smiled again and squeezed my hand, "I'd like that too. Come on finish your coffee and let's got for another quick walk before we go home."

We finished up and went outside again. It was even colder than before and we did up each other's hoods tightly so that just the eyes showed and set off. Half an hour later we got back to Cathy's car and got in out of the wind.

When we got back to my house, Cathy stopped the car and I said, "How about some dinner and a drink later? Mind you I don't really know anywhere around here."

"That would be great. I know an Italian place, I'll pick you up about seven. Don't dress too smartly, it's not that sort of place"

I got out and leaned back in through the window, "Do you want your suit back?"

"No, you hang on to it for a while. It's going to be a long cold Winter. See you later".

Part 3

I could hardly wait for seven o'clock. I dressed casually in a shirt and jeans and pulled on my parka as Cathy pulled up outside. As I got into the car I noticed that she was wearing a light blue Nuptse vest over a cashmere sweater with a high roll neck and pale blue jeans.

I complimented her, "You look sensational, hope you've brought a coat as well, it's pretty chilly tonight."

"Don't worry my North Face coat is in the trunk in case of emergencies but we can park just outside the restaurant."

The restaurant was as good as she said and I really enjoyed the food and her company. We talked long into the evening and found that we both liked hiking, cycling and canoeing, our musical tastes were pretty compatible and we generally just got on. She stuck to mineral water as she was driving and what with the eating and talking I only managed a couple of beers.

Eventually we left and she drove me home. It was freezing in the car to begin with and Cathy put on her long down coat over her down vest until things warmed up. The combination of coat and vest made her look incredibly padded and huggable.

When we got to my place I invited her for a coffee but she declined, "Sorry I've got to work tomorrow, we've got a lot of meetings on next week about some mergers and I really have to do some preparation."

I must have looked downcast because she went on, "Don't look so sad, I won't work every weekend and you've got my down suit for company." She then leant over and we kissed long and hard before I got out of the car, waved goodbye and went inside. It was a long time before I could get to sleep, my thoughts were in turmoil, it was like being a teenager again.

Over the next few months our relationship developed. The weather got colder and we spent a lot of time outside wrapped up in down clothing. We bought a few new items - I acquired a Nuptse vest and a Canada Goose Resolute parka , Cathy got a Nuptse jacket and a bright red Canada Goose Mystique parka which really suited her. The best purchase though was some matching Rab Expedition parkas, salopettes and mittens - a bit corny but very warm.

Our relationship soon moved on to having sex and I was proved right about Cathy having a sensational body. She kept pretty fit and the sex was very, very satisfying. We then moved on to occasionally using our down gear to liven things up which took the sex onto another level for the both of us.

We spent a lot of time in Cathy's parents' cabin which was a couple of hours drive away in the mountains. It was in a newish development but each cabin had a lot of privacy, especially on the rear verandah. That was a really good thing because on the first night we put on the down suits, lay on a down blanket and had sex in the open air at a temperature of 10 below freezing. It was a strange, but totally erotic, sensation seeing your breath condense in the freezing air and only being able to see Cathy's eyes, the rest of her was wrapped tightly into her down suit, mittens and booties.

We had some great times snowmobiling which gave us a good excuse ( as if we needed one! ) to wear the down suits. We usually wore layers of thermals and fleece under the suit but one unforgettable day it was really cold so we decided on something a bit more special. We deliberately bought the Rab gear a bit on the large side so after putting on the down suits over naked bodies we squeezed ourselves into the Rab gear as well. We ended up enveloped in a four inch layer of down all over which was incredibly warm even sitting still at 20 below and a strong breeze because of the snowmobile. After that experience we had some intense sex and, on the following nights, spent an hour sitting on the rear verandah, dressed in the same way, watching the sunset. It was a totally surreal experience.

As Winter gave way to Summer I was slightly concerned that our relationship would suffer but it was not so. We both liked outdoor pursuits and even in mid-Summer the evenings got cool in the mountains which inevitably meant a down vest, at least, was needed to sit comfortably outside. By this time I'd given up my rented house and had moved in with Cathy.

At Cathy's request was kept our relationship quiet from the rest of the office but that wasn't a problem as we both ended up working long hours during the week. Our co-workers never seemed to socialise at weekends and we would inevitably end up hiking or cycling in the wilderness so it was no problem.

As Winter came again the down vests gave way to down jackets and then to parkas and long down coats. We'd avoided the cabin over the Summer as Cathy's parents used it a lot and the area was crowded with other visitors. As the weather cooled the place got quieter and we arranged our first visit to coincide with the first really cold snap of the year.

Cathy braked suddenly and turned the SUV off the highway and onto the track leading to the cabin. I roused myself from my reverie and wondered what the weekend would bring. Cathy has promised something special, her cousin who worked in clothing manufacturing had given her something to try. There was a large bag in the trunk and she was quite secretive about it.

Part 4

The cabin was pretty cold when we got in. Although the heating kept the cabin frost free it was only just above freezing so we quickly lit the wood burning stove. While that was warming up we had a quick bite to eat and unpacked the down gear.

After I washed up Cathy fetched the large bag and put it in the rear, unheated porch. She then suggested that we get undressed so we stripped off our layers of warm sweaters and thermals and went out to the porch. It was freezing out there and she quickly opened the bag and pulled out what looked like a cross between a sleeping bag and a down suit. I recognised it from an advert that I had seen on the internet and momentarily forgot the discomfort of the cold porch.

"Quick climb in," she said, "It's freezing in here."

I didn't need a second invitation and gratefully climbed into the suit. It was rather large and I commented, "This is a giant size, far too big for me. And what are you going to do?"

Then it dawned on me, she was going to get in as well!

"It's the largest size they do," she explained, "It's 5XL or something, big enough for the two of us. It's also a four season version with 800 fill power down so we should be warm enough."

She stepped into the suit legs with her back to my front and zipped up the two front zippers. It was quite a tight fit with the two of us in there but with a bit of wriggling we got the zips done up and pulled up the giant hood. The suit had thumbless mittens attached to the arms and special insulated pads on the soles of the attached booties so we didn't feel the cold floor at all. After a few moments we waddled with some difficulty towards the back door, opened it and stepped onto the private rear verandah.

Winter had arrived properly and it was well below freezing but we felt nothing through the thick down covering. After a few minutes standing in silence I pulled my arms in from the sleeves and started to stroke Cathy's stomach and breasts. She moaned softly and pressed herself back towards me. I moved a hand downwards towards her crotch and began to masturbate her slowly. I heard her breathing quicken and very quickly her whole body shuddered with an orgasm.

"Wow," she said, "that was incredible, I didn't realise that I was that aroused."

"This is amazing," I commented, "It's toasty warm and having the two of us in here takes it to another level."

"You're pretty excited as well," she commented. This was true as I had a massive erection which she must be aware of because we were squeezed so closely together.

Cathy shuffled us closer to the edge of the verandah so that she could lean on the rail. She raised herself up on her toes and after a bit of effort lowered herself down on my erection. The intense erotic feeling was indescribable. I was having sex inside a down suit, no worries about draughts or cold extremities, just an extremely hot woman. I have no idea how long it lasted but I'll remember it forever. We did the same thing several times more over the Winter but that first time remains stuck in my memory always.

We tried riding a snowmobile in it. That was partially successful especially as the person at the back had to pull their arms inside the body so that the driver could reach the handlebars. Inevitably that led to the driver being stroked and rubbed as he or she tried to drive! Looking back that wasn't the safest thing to do - any explanations after an accident would have been complicated! Also in reality just a down suit wasn't enough to keep the driver warm against the wind chill on any except the shortest journeys. Additional layers of thermals, fleeces, sweaters and balaclavas were needed for proper protection and it was easier, and safer, to wear the normal suits.

Sitting in it on the rear verandah watching the sunset was more successful and if we wrapped ourselves in a large down blanket as well we would regularly nod off while sitting out in the cold.

We also planned further trips while sitting watching the sunset. Both of us wanted a trip which involved wearing down all day, every day and preferably for sleeping in as well. We think that we've come up with a suitable trip but that's another story ...
