Yea best thing, they also have cold gear that I won't wear unless is is close to zero and will stay that way. Under amour and a tee shirt, under amour and sweat pants and then my suit. That is it period. On a side note walmart sells a brand called Z stuff or something like that. We bought a couple of those last year and I was almost as impressed with that product. (it was like 1/4 the price)

Cotton absorbs moisture from your sweat, if your out in the middle of nowhere and you break down the moisture will freeze you up fast. hypothermia is serious stuff.

Don't wear cotton wear wicking material to keep the moisture away from your skin.

Under Armor cold gear is worth its weight in gold.....this stuff is amazing. As the others said, Under Armor first.

Cotton kills. Keep anything made with including socks, pants, shirts, hats, away from anything to do with snowmobiling.

Absolutley cotton kills! It's a survival addage that can save lives. Avoid cotton at all costs it ratains sweat moisture and will be your downfall when you need warmth the most. If you are still wearing cotton you are uniformed and playing with fire (hypothermia).
