Cold weather base layer clothing???

[loworange88]

So I want to invest in some more base layer clothing. I have some of the old school waffle style long john bottoms and tops. I also have some microfleece stuff from Redhead. Just wondering what else is out there that is good for long sits. I dont really want to break the bank with Under Armour(plus I hear its not all that great for cold weather) I know Target and Walmart carry the similar products such as Champion, and Starter. Any input would be great.

Thanks.

I use under armour cold gear on top and for the bottom i bought these goose down long johns for under your pants then put on insulated overalls

If it really gets chilly i break out the heat wraps...You can get a 2 pack in cvs or rite aid that wrap around your entire lower back kidney area and will stay heated alllll day. Best thing i bought so far.

If you look hard you can find some base layers at sports stores that wont break the bank. I went to school for forestry and they made us buy something other than cotton because cotton kills or so they say. That being said I have a synthetic top that I use just a generic heavy synthetic long john top. I always where BUGZ SKINZ for cabelas for the tick issue then a cotton tee shirt then the synthetic top. That seems to work with just a light coat all bow season then when it turns cold I stick a flannel on then a sweatshirt and a big coat. That combo means no walk though to hot but I stay warm.

Remeber layers for all day sits and don't wear too much walkng in and get sweaty that is a sure thing to be cold all day.

I use Rocky base layers. They have a few different weights, and they work great.

Under Armour everything as my base layer, its amazing.

The only thing i will use against my skin now is Wool. You can spend a lot (i.e. Filson, Smart Wool, Justin Charles) or you can spend not so much and go with Minus 33 which is what i did. Its more expensive than your Walmart - Target options but less then the high end stuff. I love the stuff. Cheapest place i have found is Slibermans Army and Navy.

Very hard to beat a quality brand of merino wool. Spend the money and it will last quite awhile.

Patagonia, Smartwool, Minus 33, Ibex etc,

Thanks everyone, I wasnt aware of many of the brands listed, I'll check them out.

I'm going with Under Armour since I'm allergic to wool, lol.

I perfer to wear more layers, and a light jacket. Under Armor has proven itself to me. On those COLD days I wear cold gear under armor base layer, must be on your skin to work correctly (wicking) and a polar weight cabelas one piece. Through on a a wool jacket, wool socks. Never wear cotton against your skin when it is cold. That will save you some misery..For hands...My hands are always cold. What I have been doing now is cheating. I carry three pairs of gloves with me. (I do not like any bulky gloves) I put the chemical hand warmers in the gloves I am not wearing, and stuff them in an inside pocket. Then I change from the gloves I had on for a while, to a nice warm one. And it has the added benefit of warming your guts as well:)

i dont wear much of anything for base layers.... old school long johns for me. camo pants and hoodie, im good. my hands are my problem. never can keep them warm. ice armor works a lil bit for gloves.

Get a muff for your hands. I use one and sometimes throw a hand warmer or two in there. I keep my hands in the muff with no gloves if Im in a stand and have no problems. Its nice to shoot without gloves on.
