The brand of thermal underwear is less important than the weight and material. I've got 3 pairs, lightweight for when its not that cold and I need to move around. Heavier for when its colder and/or I'm moving less (like snowmobiling) and heavyweight for serious cold or just hanging around. The heavyweight are good for ice fishing where you do a lot of sitting and waiting unless I happen to meet somebody with a good ice shack that has a woodstove and maybe a little insulation.
Mine are all polypropylene which is miles ahead of cotton. They tell me silk is good but its spendy. -Curt ________________________________ From: archer75--- via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> To: WILTON <wilt...@nc.rr.com>; Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 5:47 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Cub Cadet finale For the past 20 years I've heated my shop with ten 100 watt filament bulbs (which also provide plenty of light) except for one very cold winter which required 12 bulbs. Of course, I'm 'way north of Dan; about 90 miles or so and I like the shop hot; about 78F. Gerry P.S. Wilton, do you remember the brand of thermal underwear you mentioned; North Face, or something like that perhaps? The Patagonia brand I've been using was not warm enough the last time I went up north to North Carolina in the winter. Grandson in Raleigh may be engaged to an Assyrian girl and there may be a wedding. (Still haven't been able to figure out where the Assyrians live in the Middle East.)
