Default Best Thermals

Think I am gonna grab some top end toasty undies this year..........gets damn cold some mornings especially during gun season.

Any recommendations??

My priorities are MAXIMUM warmth above all else............would like something not super bulky if possible though.


Thanks.

I would go with something that has maximum warmth but also moisture wicking properties. I get the coldest when I get a little sweat walking in on a cold morning and get settled in and begin to shiver.

I have had alot of luck with the Polar Weight underwear from Cabela's. They are definitley not bulky and they keep me warm. They have different styles to choose from. On mine the fabric at the wrists extendhalf way down your hand and have a thumb hole in it so it won't slip up. It's a great feature because it keeps the draft out of your sleeves.

They keep me pretty warm and I can usually lose a layer that I would be wearing if I had just "run of the mill" long Johns on. So not only are they themselves not bulky I was able to discard a bulky layer as well.

I echo what BigJ12 says. I used to freeze out there until I bought my Cabelas polar weight thermals. Now, I sometimes need to open up the jacket to cool off!!!! Great product.

I am big on the Cabelas brands of thermal undies. The Xstatic lineup is also antimicrobial. The Polar Weight should suit you just fine.
