I wear Omni-wool socks from Sam's Club and they seem to be great quality for the money (3 prs for $15 vs. 1 pr for >$15 from SmartWool). I will have to look for their thermals.

Ever since I started wearing medalist I have been happy as hell. I have a few under armour garments and I think the medalist stuff is easily on par with it. You can find it cheap too.

I can see the $20's and the silent credit cards rolling...

on such a question on a hunting web site.

I'm glad I'm not a newbie who never endured an all day in the woods in minus degree weather. Probably could freeze up one of their electronic instruments they're carrying. They got insulated wear for those i-phones?

I've switched from the synthetics to 100% merino wool and I haven't looked back. I purchased socks, bottoms, and tops from Minus33 and have worn them several times and they work great. Wool is great for warmth, breathability, sheds water and quick drying, UV resistance, and fire resistance (it doesn't melt, which if you've ever had an ember from a fire hit synthetic clothing, it melts to your skin). The point is, it's durable, warm, and long lasting. Yes, it can be more expensive, but you're money may go further with a quality wool base layer.

I just noticed this year that even Costco is carrying merino wool & it looks to be pretty decent.

Get Merino wool. I've got so much Minus33 stuff I should own stock in the company! Love it all!

Edit: Oops - x3'd my original post - hehe. It had been a few months...

+1 for Under Armour. I probably would have bought it if it wasn't for baseball, but the cold gear is VERY warm.
