best thermals

=112= · 03-14-2006, 07:32 PM

i'm lookin to buy some thermals. i know that the winter season is almost up, but i would still like to buy some nice thermals for like 40-50 degree weather. i've bought some thermals from GAP but they blow. any brands that are soft and keep you pretty warm? just lookin for plain white, black, grey. thanks.

Silk long underwear keep you much warmer than standard waffle pattern thermals. Check out Lands End or Cabelas.

I just got some polar fleece from REI, and they are crazy warm and soft.

Just go to REI(if possible and look around) that is what I did to find some good thermals for skiing.

I have been playing the Splinter Cell games and thought you were going to be talking about thermal goggles! Lol!

Not too sure about the "soft" part, but Under Armour is unbeatable for keeping you warm.

Go to the nearest ski shop. There you will find many options ranging from silks to Hot Chilis.

thanks for all the input. i was lookin for the "waffle pattern" cotton thermals. i didnt know they were called those. i have a pair of under armours but those i wear more for sports and such. i was just lookin for a pair of cotton thermals that i can wear on a normal day.

patigonia capiline. hands down the best on the market. comes in a variety of weights from silk to expedition.

Ahhh patigonia, that is the brand of thermal pants I bought. Not to heavy but not to light, and reallllllly comfy. I splurged a little more(50$ total) for the patigonia thermals I got but they were def worth it. I can wear them with just ski pants and be fine if it is 35 or 5 degrees.
