Under Armour Heat Gear
I just bought this product from the new Cabelas in Fort Worth.It's called Under Armour performance apperel .I have bought the shirt and pantswhich the sales rep. was there and convinced me this was the ultimate in moisture wicking.
He said the cloths which are thin and slick feeling fit closely to your body whichtakesthe moisture from your skin and wicks it to the outer layer of the garmets which in turn helps to regulate the body temperature.
I tried it yesterday for the first time.I went intothe woods with this stuff on under my camo I noticed when I put it on it was already cool feeling.Yesterday was in the mid 90's and sunshine.I stayed out from 3:00 pm till 8:45 pm and was very suprised of the results.
It kept me cool and was very comfortable.It felt cool like when you first put on icy hot.I got home and of coarse had been sweating but nothing like I normally would have.I really belive this is some good material and would suggest it for any one who has to hunt in the heat like around here.We hardley had a winter last year.
Just thought I would give my two cents for anyone looking into something like this product.

RE: Under Armour Heat Gear
I am a huge fan of UA. I have both hot and cold weather apparell including skull caps. I wear it for football, in fact the entire team does, and it performs. After a 45 minute intense weight lifting session, my hot weather tee will be soaked on the outside, and my chest will be dry. Cold weather gear is great too, and it adds a lot of spring to your step. Great stuff.

Yes you wear them as a under layer beneath your camo.The shirt was $29.00 and the pants were $39.00.I mainly got it because my scent blocker don't breath in this heat and I needed something to help keep me at least a little cooler.

My friends uses it and has only one complaint. I guess the fabric fits very tight to the skin and body hair gets intertwined somehow. I personally have never tried it though. Maybe I will this year.

RE: Under Armour Heat Gear
I have been really seriously considering this stuff. They have some that is in camo right? I am always dying out there in the early season.I've heard many people say its worth it.
