RE: long underwear
I go with the Duofold Unionsuit myself. Works great and feels good against the skin, However I never hunt from a stand and am always spot and stalking. When it starts to get warm just undo a few buttons and cools you right off.

Personally I use Helly Hensen Polyproplene under garmets. They aren't cheap either but worth it, up here it can get to -30 in hunting season.

I usually get a couple pair of the fleece Remingtons from Wal-Mart. They are around 10 bucks each for the top and bottom but do a good job of keeping you warm. I did learn a good lesson though, I bought the regular neck instead of the semi turtle neck, next time I will get the higher one.

RE: long underwear
Ok, Broke down and bought the UnderArmor last night. I hope it's as good as many have said.
My biggest problem is hiking out long distances, sweating and then sitting the whole day.
Usually i freeze up pretty good

RE: long underwear
Kansas Winters aren't anywhere near as bad as your northern snowblows, but I started wearing Underarmor back when I was in high school. I can wear underarmor under sweatpants and cargo pants and a longsleeve t-shirt and light jacket and NEVER be cold in KS. I wear a parka on top when I'm just sitting around in a blind or stand, but as soon as I start moving, I don't need the extra layers.
You also don't sweat (or at least notice that you're sweating) in underarmor. I like to stay HOT, in cottons I get hot,I sweat, get wet, and get cold, in polypropylene, I get hot, I stay hot, and stay comfortable.

RE: long underwear
Lots of votes for Under Armor. I bought some and it does no better than the polartech mentioned in the first post. Maybe worse. After wearing it for a couple of hours it starts to pull the hairs on my legs and arms and I begin to itch like crazy. I did buy the compression fit. I think if I had bought the loose fit it might have been much more comfortable.
