See, it started out innocently, when I bought a coldgear shirt for Intramural Football. It had sex with my skin, and was the best I've ever had. So, I started using it for hunting. Over time, my affections grew, and eventually, I asked the shirt to marry me. My shirt, however, became lonely - so I bought pants to go with the shirt for skiing/hunting. (That was back when these things were $25 each.) Those were the good times.

My marriage to the UA became rocky when I wore them so much that they started to get fuzzy and fade. Like any married man whose wifegot old andworn out,I replaced it with a second set - this time with the armourblock. Somehow, the price jumped to $49.99 this time around. I took my butt-raping and bought it.

Now, mysecond setis fuzzy and snagged-up. It's alsofaded some ugly pinkish-orange color. I can't complain though, b/c I wear this stuff about 50x per year, and scent wash after every use. That's 100 washings in 2 seasons.

So here I am, back at square-one, needing new UA base layers, and I'm wondering whether it's worth the extra $50 to buy the "Capture" line, instead of the $100 set of Armourblock.


I'm a huge cheapass, so squeezing this extra $50 out is going to be received about as well as an enema.
