On other note, old field hands up there reccomended I stay away from cheap plasticy materials as when it gets really, really cold these materials turn brittle and break. They prefer leather, ventile or other stuff like that. Expensive, but worth it.

I have an outer shell that's made of polypropylene material which is said to be good for keeping the water out, and yet it allows the perspiration to escape. It can be layered underneath with synthetic fleece or wool to help prevent the loss of body heat.
I'd like to know what you think of polypropylene and fleece as opposed to wool.
