The military went to something called polypro they work pretty well
do you have a military surplus store near by?

 

[scramble4a5]

Under Armor. Pricey yes, but the new materials they use really do keep you warm. I have a turtleneck from them that I wear when riding my bicycle in cold weather. Great stuff.

Nope but i live near a bunch of ******** who could probably know were to get them from.

Cresta and Polartec.....great warmth.

big 5 sells silk long johns. (they also have some synthetic ones that i also bought for my survival & firearms schools.)

i bought the silk long johns, and am very happy with them. i mostly use them under my sport bike leathers. dont go to the expense of buying lands end.
its about 15.00 a piece for the breeches and top. keeps you dry and wicks away the sweat, also keeps you cozy.

Polartec we were issued it in the Army in our unit and it is great.

The wife loves silk longjohns. I'm not easily chilled, as long as I have a decent jacket. Hard to keep me out of my Jerusalem Cruisers, even in the occasional Alabama snow.

I spend a lot of time outside in the weather and one of the best forms of "insulated" clothing I have found is your run of the mill 6 dollar a piece Jersey Sweats from Walmart. Im sure there are better high tech under garments but for 6 bucks you cant beat them! Just dont get wet...

They polypro has been standard issue for some time the Polartec is issued to some units . The Polartec is out standing it is what some may call under silk. It control moisture very well
I will say that when you hit extreme cold the old polypro work well just a bit bulky. I have many pair of both in the box.
The Polartec we were issued had the thumb hole it kept the sleeves fro riding up the arm I still wear them when riding in cold weather also made a better fit with gloves
