[QUOTE="Ring Sport, post: 1451111, member: 55172"] [B]Layers, and stay away from Cotton. [/B] [url]http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/layering-basics.html[/url] A lot of times the problem is that individuals don't want to invest in quality. They think that hitting the local department store will suffice. Your base layer (material that touches your skin) being breathable and self wicking is key. Was able to show my kid at 12 years old how to survive building his own snow cave in an area where temps can dip as low as -69 degrees fahrenheit. He was the youngest of only 3 or 4 kids, if I remember right, that made it thru the whole night on a camping trip. About a dozen of them started. A short time later we were getting ready to start our day and there on the National News was where he was as the coldest place in the Nation. It is all about layers and the right gear. [url]http://www.backcountry.com[/url] For men click on the tab that says "men" then under clothing click on underwear and baselayers. For women click on the tab that says "women" then click on the tab that says "baselayers" under the clothing tab. [url]http://www.rei.com/c/mens-underwear[/url] [url]http://www.rei.com/c/womens-underwear[/url] The links that I have shown may be somewhat pricey, but the stuff will last. One other thing.
