I Believe---UnderArmour

[bowriter]

Think I am going to like it. I got a set of base 2 and a set of base 4. They feel great. I also got a new parka which I actually did need and it feels great as well. I also got some new socks and stuff just cause I wanted to and think I am going to like them.

Then, I got me some snuggy jammies and can't wait for it to get cold enough to wear them.

As always with Cabela's service was superb and delivery well before promised time. Now, it is just a matter of paying for all of it.

had to laugh at the nice lady when I ordered the parka. She asked my preference of camo pattern and I told her I didn't care, just whatever they had that wasn't selling, as long as it had no green in it. She said, "What, you don't care." I said nah, deer can't tell the difference and if it aint selling, you have it in stock. She giggled but did not give me a discount. I don't know what the patternis but it has no green.

I got me a set of under armour last year after being a skeptic since it came out and it literally cut my layers in half it works so good. I believe you chose wisely.

 

[easy45]

Love my UA gear, expensive but the stuff is as advertised

 

[bowriter]

I'm most excited about my jommies.

 

[W.Seay]

All my gear is UA it's worth every penny!

 

[Inkstainz]

2 winters ago I was at the TVA allen plant in dead of winter freezing and I bought a set of the underarmour base layers and they made a WORLD of difference.

 

[richmanbarbeque]

Currently wearing UA shirt, shorts, socks and shoes. Left the hat at home.

 

[muddyboots]

Lord they must have improved years ago i bought a set of cold gear and nearly froze to death the one morning i wore them.

 

[fairchaser]

I don't know what the patternis but it has no green.

Is that a political statement or you just don't like the color?

 

[switchbacker]

ua is the best stuff in my opinion. on their website is a outlet with all kinds of gear dirt cheap

 

[smyrnagc]

EXACTLY...Revolutionized my winter hunting!

 

[Poleaxe]

The cloths are so addicting. I have probably 100 pieces in my dresse. I bought the ridge reaper suit last yr for my iowa hunt so it wudnt be so bulky and that with a base 3 is all I needed. Last week I bought their new 800g rubber boots and when I put them on I cudnt believe how comfortable and lightweight they were. 2lbs per pair. Mucks dont even compare.

I do not have their coldest weather gear. But the UA underwear I do have is the dang coldest clothing I have ever worn. I hate it and won't wear it anymore.

Wear it in the summer. :grin:

That must be the answer. It must be some of their "high activity" gear, because unless you're really breaking a sweat, the stuff is ice-cold against the skin.

Not trying to poke fun or anything, real question. Do you really need a parka to hunt in TN?

I was thinking of getting rid of my heaviest stuff to save space(we don't have a basement in TN). I went out and got alot of lightweather and unisulated boots to hunt in the future.

I wear a Realtree AP hooded sweatshirt out in the afternoons early season up here. I like it.

You will find that "felt temperature" is very different in the South than in the North (or other areas that get much colder than TN). Because of the higher moisture content of our air, even in fall/winter, it will "feel" much colder than it actually is. When our low temperatures drop into the mid to low 20s, it feels amazingly cold, much colder than even single digits feels like up North.

I have a brother that lives at 10,000 feet in the Rockies. He regularly walks and mountain bikes in single digit weather, and is quite comfortable doing so, often with little insulation. But when he comes hunting in TN, he freezes his butt off once the temps drop below the upper 20s if he isn't wearing a fully insulated parka or jumpsuit.

I've skied in the Northeast when the air temp at the top of the mountain was 30 below zero and the wind chill 60 below. Yet the coldest I've ever been outdoors was fishing in Florida when the temps were only in the upper 30s. Cool damp air will chill you to the bone.

 

[GRAMPS]

I believe I will try some under armour this hunting season. I have never tried any, but since my surgery I get cold very easily. I am not looking forward to cold weather this year.

Their called base layers and their almost non-effective when worn by themselves.. I too had to find out the hard way. They are made to also have a pair of thermals to wear over them to keep the heat in. If layered right any 100yr old man or 5yr old kid could stay warm.

I suggest trying the base 3 if your not planning on walking far. If you do walk quite a bit then drop down to the base 2. Get some thermals and wear over them and I promise youl totally change the way you think about them.

This is so true! I can atest to this from hunting up in Ohio and Penn - I know these aren't extreme Northern areas, but I swear 20 deg here and 20 deg there are two totally different experiences.

I'm a believer in the Under Armour. Likewise, if it is cold enough I typically wear some sort of thin thermals over them. I think they're great. A little expensive still, but worth it.

 

[jb3]

I've thought about them, but can't justify the price. I do have friends that duck hunt and say they didn't care for them. Said it feels good wearing it, but does not keep you warm enough compared to other clothing.

I'll stick with my 200-weight polarfleece long-underwear. Much cheaper and much warmer. The UA stuff is WAY overpriced.

It is overpriced but when used correctly they are effective.
The base 2 is the heaviest I can stand to wear here in TN. We simply dont have cold enough weather for more than a day or two a year to require truly cold weather clothing!

Is the polarfleece similar to the ECWCS military fleece made in Tullahoma? That is what I use, and like it real well.

 

[44fanatic]

I cant say that UA is a bad brand (never worn it), but as with a few other, over priced. Army issued me some good stuff, PolarTec, that I am pretty happy with...and cant say nothing about the price cause I never bought it. Plenty of good brands out there that get the job done, as long as they keep the moisture away from the body.

 

[DirtyBear0311]

I got a UA shirt from back when I played football and soccer. Will this work just as well or no? I usually use my Marine Corps issued fleece and a sweatshirt under my mid-weight jacket and stay pretty warm.

No, I do not. But I hunt other places where it gets frosty as in -35 and I fish, too. I can recall several times I wished I had as parka.

 

[bowriter]

First, BSK, can I have whatever you won't wear? And second, I thought it was quite reasonable. Lot cheaper than some stuff I bought a few years ago. I just hope it works better. I'll have to wait and see.

Meanwhle, I just assembled and put up my new deer skinning system and have started my record book.

What kind of thermals do you wear over top of the UA base layer? I thought the point of thermal underwear is to be a base layer?
