Columbia Omni Heat. They also have the advantage of having a working fly that many don't for some silly reason.

Sierra Trading Post usually has a good supply of thermals cheap, too.

I do a lot of ice fishing during the winter so I can be out in some pretty brutal temps at least for awhile. Then I go in a nice warm fish house and spend several days and nights on the ice. You need everything from sweat pants a t shirt and slippers to a full blown ice suit with bibs and parka and everything in between. You never know what you're going to run into.

Carhartt base layers are some of my favorites but I really like the Alaskan Hardgear stuff from Duluth Trading. Your going to spend a bit more but it is very good quality and very good performance.

I have some Duluth Trading base layer tops that are not Alaskan Hardgear branded and I don't like them near as much. Search Duluth Trading and click the Alaskan Hardgear tab. Easy enough.

Cabela's MTP for me I have the lightweight, midweight and a couple pair of the heavyweight.
The weight I wear depends on what I'm doing and the weather. Not as costly as under armour .

The best part of wearing the light and midweight is their is no bulkiness.

I do Smartwool merino top and bottom. Their 250 weight. I have LLBean's too, just as good.

A neck gaiter is another necessity for me. The wind blowing on my neck gets me cold fast. I use a lightweight one that is connected by magnets in the back, so if someone grabs it, it comes off rather than strangling me:

I shit thee not--I'm trying to figure out how to take my fleece pajama pants and get them sewn into my uniform pants as a liner. I hate being cold!

Priceless. Bonus if the fleece you sew inside is like dinosaur print or something!

Negative ghost rider. I work outside on a regular basis and wear them all the time in the winter. Especially if it’s going to be a windy day.

How do you keep the legs warm. My uniform pants are thin as paper. Thermals are a must have for outdoors.


For bottoms I have several random pairs of the skin tight variety I’ve purchased over the years. Nothing special except for this one pair of skin right ones that are fleeced lines. Got those from Lands End. They are by far my favorite.

same here, I work construction so I am out in the am when it is cold and when the temps warm in the pm, they are still comfortable.


Another vote for Carhartt here. 15 degree's and sleeting with a wind chill of 1-5 degree's while up a telephone pole. I was good with Carhartt.

PayPal me if you're interested, and I'll get you employee pricing and have it shipped to your door. I have a set I've been using for years for snow play. Works great and keeps you dry. I work next door to the corporate HQ employee store and have year-round access. I can order anything from the kiosk inside and have it shipped from there.

In fact, I have to head over there on my break to get the wife some gloves. She lost hers and has been bugging me to go over there today for replacements.

Tony, I am interested in taking advantage of your offer on employee pricing for a thermal shirt. PM ok w/ you?

I could use a set or two for a duck hunt in January.

Tried a pair of flannel lined cargo pants and they are not only warm, but comfortable. Bass Pro is where I found them.


Was looking around at Meijers and they have these in Wrangler cargo.

Don't need them where I live, either. Nice to know that good ones exist, though.
