skygirlpc 0 #1 January 14, 2003 Hey! Since I live in Florida this is a subject that I have no experience with. But, it does get cold here and I need something to layer under my jumpsuit. I was considering ordering silk ones, but I was wondering if some thermals from Wally world would work just as well (they would be at least half the cost). I need something thin that will layer easily! Thanks for the help! Danielle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #2 January 14, 2003 Damnit, i thought this was a thread about donuts. Anyhoo, i have the cheapo thermals from wally world and they work just fine for me. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

PLFXpert 0 #4 January 14, 2003 Under my jumpsuit in the winter, I always just wear cotten tights and a fitted long-sleeve shirt. BZ wears thermal undies....HA HA HA...I hate them, but whatever works!

skymama 35 #6 January 14, 2003 I went to a Sporting Goods store and got the kind that skiers use that has the fabric that pulls mositure away from your body, so you're not wet under your clothes if you do happen to sweat a little. Of course, I don't pack so I don't really know why I was worried about that anyway.

Silk is pretty good too. matt that is the BEST stuff I have found to date (hot chillies on chicks aren't bad either). I've tried many, but the ones from EMS totally rock. Cotton for layering = bad idea. holds water, which acts as a heat conductor, which makes it worse later. Wool does keep it's thermal properties when wet, but it itches like a bugger.

wmw999 2,123 #15 January 14, 2003 I have some that are wool on the outside, with polypropylene on the inside; doubleknit. They are very warm and comfortable.

jfields 0 #16 January 14, 2003 Polypro layer + wool layer is a good combo! Nice and warm, without being too itchy. The only downside is that the wool is too bulky for some applications. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,123 #17 January 14, 2003 Quote the wool is too bulky for some applications. These are as thin as the waffle-weave ones; anything that needs less bulk probably should be applied with a spray can, and not to me Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

flyangel2 2 #19 January 14, 2003 Being as I get cold so easy, I would suggest going with the polypros. The silk ones work well too. Stay away from the cheap cotton ones, if you sweat, they will just stay wet. The polypros and silk are thinner and will be more comfortable under clothes with a jumpsuit. The secret to staying warm is to layer, that allows warm air to be trapped in between the clothes, keeping you warmer.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
