I wear polypropylene under any cold weather clothing. It wicks the sweat away and keeps me much warmer. Top, bottoms and socks. Over the past several years I have spent untold days in snow goose spreads and duck blinds in some unbearable weather. It always works for me.
I like the cool weather under armor or the poly. Stuff. My bids and jacket do most of the work :)
I wear 100% polypropylene cold weather bottoms(Army issue), jeans. Long sleeve thermal tops, flannel shirt, insulated hoodie, insulated windbreaker jacket w/ hood. If it's really brutal, I'll drop the jacket and opt for insulated coveralls w/ hood. Insulated boots.
I wear an Ice Armor ice fishing suit over top a hooded sweat shirt, Ice Armor gloves, long underwear, wool socks and Muck boots. Never been cold yet and I'm originally from Wisconsin. Haven't had to bundle up quite as much since I moved to Tennessee.
Minus 33, merino wool. Good stuff.
Tighty Whitey's
I guess I have had or tried about everything over the years short of the actual snowmobile suits or arctic wear. I will have to say though back in the 70's I had a real goose down coat and that thing was warm and light beyond belief. It wasn't as tough on the exterior as say Carharts or something so I did not wear it for work or hunting in briar patches,but for sheer warmth man it was awesome.You couldn't do anything but sit in it or you would break a sweat.One of the few things I have ever had stolen in my life. Somebody stole it off my truck seat one day.
I setup by a fireplace and pop atop on cold beer if that cold !!!!:biggrin
Hunting I don't wear long underware if its real cold, blue jeans/ longsleeve shirt and my Hush Hide. Fishing is a different game, I have the Rocky stuff from Wally world tops and bottoms in all 3 weights. Depending on the weather I start with the lighter stuff and then the medium and then the heavy, blue jeans/ longsleeve shirt, hoody if needed and my rain suit. Top layer needs to be water/wind proof, makes all the difference in the world. Most of the time I dont need but 2 layers of the Rocky stuff but when really cold will put all 3 on.
When it is cold i wear Rivers West clothing is the best I've seen. It is very light weight but it will amaze you how it keeps you warm. It is totally water proof and wind proof. You only need one layer underneath it. It must be very cold before I can wear it and I usually wear a tee shirt and jeans underneath. There was a group of 6 of us that purchase the Rivers West jacket and pants about 8 years ago at the Mossy Oak store in West Point. We've all use it both hunting and fishing when it is very cold.
Bought Under Amour 4.0
I'm waiting for all this snow storm to Clear..There was some SNOW on my windshield !!!

How cold was it G?
It was 27.......its 18 this morning and its still good.
Love my Artic Armor very warm with a nice hood
Yep.....I won it.....winner was selected by vote of the members.
I have been using Cold Pruf. I found it at Lakeway a couple years ago. Its lightweight and very warm so far.
I wear 100% silk from cabelas next to the skin, then insulated bluejeans, flannel shirt and hoodie working. Hunting or extreme cold 15 or lower I'll put on my military weight Poly pro over the silk then the rest.
The key is layering. Older folks need a heavier base layer. I like the 4.0 stuff that Kightshadow chose for the extreme cold. I also wear the lined jeans. I use the Wranglers lined with Thinsulate not the flannel. Much warmer. Don't need coveralls or bibs unless it's REALLY cold.
