    Ben my current layer setup is underarmour cold gear for the top, and when I am wading in Canyon Lake in the cold AZ winter I wear sweats under my breathable waders. When I moved to AZ 2 years ago, I got rid of my cold weather clothes not knowing one day I would need them all to fulfill my addiction to the outdoors.

    Ben- my current base layer is a wool poly blend by Duofold which I don’t think they make anymore. After that I wear various combinations of fleece and sweaters depending on the weather and activity.

    Thanks, Ben.

    I currently have some cotton thermal bottoms, but I’m waiting on some back ordered fleece pants from LL Bean. On top I wear a wicking SS or LS tshirt with various weights of fleece or even a duofold wool & polyester top. My merino wool Buff is the bomb.

    I hope the stuff you’re offering is not the same set you tested!

    Hello, Ben! Thanks for this great opportunity and also thanks to the folks at RedRam. My base layers have been used for years, probably, time for more updated technology for me. I use some Columbia Poly material for pants and some fleece knock off’s for the top.

  32. Marc Nielsen says:

    I’m a big guy 6’2″ 200+ lbs so in Arizona I don’t typically use much baselayer. If I think it will envolve any type of activity this is especially true. That being said, always that light weights on the bottom half, up top light to mid weight base layers.

    I am still using 1980’s vintage Bellwether expedition weight (not 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0) polypropolene. It has become pretty scratchy over the years and to minimize it I use a dryfit shirt under the top. It is good for a day or two but the BO become pretty bad after about the 3 day. It is warm though, just not the most comfortable anymore.

  38. Jimmy says:

    My current base layering is some off brand polly thermal. I usually wear fleece over the top of that for really cold situations.

    Baselayers can vary but above all must be wickable. It seems obvious but cotton thermals of yore weren’t inherently so. I favor either silk, merino or synthetics and presently own synthetics. A good baselayer product is an essential part of the outdoorsman’s wardrobe for certain. Merino is fascinating stuff and is being tried in a lot of interesting ways. Heck, there are even merino-lined wetsuits. Very curious about REDRAM.
    Posted about AZ Wanderings at Media Needles facebook profile too.

  43. Wandering Blues says:

    My base layer is a pair of my old 9oz cycling tights and a poly/lycra l/s t-shirt. I should up grade, but I’m too busy casting flies!

  44. MeLikeFlyFish-FlyFishGood says:
    December 20, 2011 at 2:17 pm

    I have some 20-year old PolarMax top and bottoms (poly/lycra). Also mix in a UArmour top and an old, dressy merino wool sweater that busted a whole… so now it’s an outdoor layer.
