I can only comment on CW gear that I've used with Uncle Sam.

Silkyester™ Pants- Cost $20
These are my base layer, I wear under my ACUs. They keep me warm down to about 10* F. They are thin and I haven't had any bunching issues with them.

I don't mind wearing them and would more than likely actually buy a pair.

Polypro pants- Cost $15
I've worn these on winter FTXs that got just plain nasty cold and made it back. They are kind of bulky.

I don't like wearing them because I tend to overheat unless its really cold and they seem to bunch up on me when on the move. I would only buy these if I was going out in 0 to sub-0 temps for extended periods of time.



Fleece overalls- Cost ??
Got these issued in Iraq and never worn them. These things are for seriously cold weather.

Unless your in Alaska I wouldn't buy these. If its that cold outside that you think you might need these, don't go outside.




Anybody tried UA Coldgear leggings, or simular form fitting leggings? I really like UA Coldgear mock turtle necks (which are great if your on the move but are only average if your standing in one spot).
