`Oh yeah. I couldn't believe it at first, but as soon as it was confirmed I grabbed about ten of them. I'm always out doing something so my odds of finding a deal seem to be higher than mosts.

If you can get the underarmour shirts for under $30 then its a good deal.

I have never heard of this product ?. It sounds like a wicking layer from what you guys are saying.
What makes it so wow from the other products out there. I have several shirts & pant/shirt combo.
Its all about layering in the winter thats for sure. Its not cheap stuff is right. Shirts can be $ 50 to $ 60 & well, i'll call them long johns, the pants are $ 75 to $ 90. Depending on the brand name.

Cool, i still need to pick up some fatwood
Anyways i'm really missing being outside, I wanted this summer to be time to do the outdoor stuff I wanted to do and go to the gym like crazy. However thats not happening right now, i'm still going to the gym a lot but not as much as I want and I can barley go do any survival stuff ever. I may take augest off, even though its the hottest time, I really want ot try something survival wise (practise skills)

Dave it was kind of the "original" kind of shirt of it's kind. They've been around for about seven or eight years now I think, if not more. There are now similar shirts that do the same thing.

I've always wanted to get some UnderArmour, but I've never got around to it. Always had other things to buy.
I want the ColdGear because I hate being cold. You know that feeling when you have lots of clothes on, but it stills feels like there's something missing? I think it is because you need a good base layer.
I can handle the heat much better than the cold, so I don't need the HeatGear. A regular t-shirt works for me.
I'll get some before too long.

I need to get some too. I need the heat gear stuff because you put a backpack on me and my back is drenched in sweat.
You know how everyone says cotton kills, and that's why we get UnderArmor. Is a 50/50 blend of cotton and nylon ok?

Cotton is fine as long as you have a back up. It just holds water close to your skin and has a negative insulation value when wet. 50/50 blend maybe better, I'm not sure. I would still have a back up

Well I'll have a space blanket, and wool or polyester blanket in case of emergency.

Camelbak's have Air Director Back Panels.
It helps air flow between you and the backpack so you don't sweat as bad.
But the UnderArmour would help, too.

I have a camelbak, and I still got sweaty when I was biking. I'm just a sweaty guy.
