Leave the plastic cloth fer yer wife' s pantys. The two best fabrics for outdoorsmen are: 1) wool, and 2) more wool. Thet meriano stuff is softer fer you fellers with womun skin.

I always did enjoy a wizzun' contest. So here it goes.....
I' d rather be closer to my wife' s " plastic panty" material
, than a wool covered sheep. [X(]
And I thought you mountainmen liked the cattle herders, not the sheep herders.

Polypropelyne, Helly Hansen. Just as the other said. I often combine the weights; first layer light weight, followed by med or heavy, or sometime all three. Especially if I' m going to be sitting still for an extended period of time. Smart Wool is incredible stuff, but expect to pay good money for it. $20(Canadian) for a pair of socks, can only imagine what pants and jacket would cost. Also some type of wind stopper fabric sandwiched in between helps keep the warmth in. Wind can take the heat away from the best insulated material.

I guess BeaverJack & I agree on this topic.
I think if god wanted you to to wear long underwear made out of plastic bags fresh sheared sheep would not look so sexy.[

oldelkhunter Silk is soft & warm when dry. If you get it wet you will freeze.
Wear wool & stay alive.
