Winter Thermals

You guys rock, good looking out.

I'm going to have to 3rd patagonia here. Awesome for KR, practical for when the oil heater in the crappy, mismanaged house you're renting doesn't work for half the winter... I mean, not speaking from experience or anything here...

Synthetic thermals usually itch me so while I hear great things about Patagonia.. I prefer Icebreaker wool. It's super soft and keeps me exceedingly warm. I picked mine up at modell's and a REI store.

While it's too late now, it can be good in the Spring to go shopping for thermals, when they go on clearance sale.  If you're lucky, you may also be able to get them this season if a store is making room in stock, or closing down, etc.

The other thing to consider is the upcoming holidays.  If you need something, and your Aunt Mildred keeps getting you sweaters, you might be able to put a nice set of thermals on your holiday list.  They don't come off as LARP gear like a sword or such would, and more mundane folk might not have a problem getting them for you. Just say they are for Skiing / Hiking / Camping.

WOW Thanks everyone. I've got a bunch of things picked out on their websites- mostly their clearance, I just have to narrow it down to the 1 or 2 thermal outfits I want at this point! Between photographing a wedding next weekend with Matt and a excessively beefy pay check I should be able to pick up thermals and a cloak and be ready for winter.
