Hi all. I'm giving this thread a bump.
Anybody have hands-on experience with the Cordura® brand Baselayer clothing? Breathability, comfort, durability? I just came across it at a store that has lots of mil-type gear (I've been buying great stuff there for years even though I haven't taken the Queen's Shilling myself).
I mostly live in synthetic baselayers (being aware and careful of course; melting synthetic is a worst nightmare).
But this spring we're in a massive, freaky drought. I could find myself jumping on a wind-fed grassfire at any time, armed with a long-handled shovel and the clothes on my back. 'Cause a small grassfire can get really big, really fast, right now.
So my gear needs a little tweaking. Merino is okay, but too expensive and high-maintenance.
Ideas?
