Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have a climbing/ camping trip coming up next week at Red River Gorge and Iwant to get some compression base layers to stay warm and protect against wind. I also plan on using these for hunting this year as well. What do you use/ suggest? The only brand I really know about is Under Armour. What other brands should I be looking at if any at all?

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Well just an update. I ordered some midweight Polartec Patagonia lower protection and Cabelas has a sale on their Polartec ECWCS base layers right now if anyone is interested in picking up some gear of their own. I got to test out the midweight ECWCS stuff from Cabelas today and it seems to do the job in the weather we have today. It seems like it'll do the job while climbing and I hope it holds up while I'm sleeping in the hammock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Do you have an Under Quilt? KillJoy Yes. I ordered a Hammock Gear 0 deg. Incubator. I'll be seeing how the under quilt holds up in the weather conditions before I order my top quilt and tarp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 layering should go as such. Wicking, insulation & shell. Forget going for brand names as underarmor, fleece and gortex have been off patent for years now. and stay away from costly north face products...they are, for the money, poor quality. If you're looking for super warm without the bulk i'd recommend a micro down jacket. I've been using one skiing for years now and i love it. just make sure to say out of the trees as it'll rip easily. I buy alot of my winter gear off sierra trading post.

AverageBlackman Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Just stay in a motel-6 and only go outside if the weather is above 60 degrees and sunny. But really, I was given a bodyglove undershirt by a coworker and I love it so far for hiking and kayaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
