When you go to hiking/climbing/survival store you will see a huge variety of clothing. You will see BDUs in every possible pattern, gore tex parkas, polartec fleeces, dry flow t-shirts, heated jackets and so on. High performance gear really does work and you would be a fool if you say it wouldn't. But due to limited space on the market such gear costs a lot (example WIndStopper is about $170 or gortex parka is about $400). I learned to value my gear since it gives me 110% of what I paid for it. But I remember that wearing my good old BDUs shirt and pants plus M-65 jacket over it also did a trick in the Army. Any suggestions as far as survival clothing goes? I know that when things happen usually we have no time to change but if you had to evacuate or prepare what sort of clothing would you choose?
