Some of you might know that I have a long history in the outdoor industry - more specifically in specialty outdoor retail. Now when I say 'long history' I mean, I remember when Patagonia introduced the Synchilla Fleece....yeah. Anyway, one of the trends in specialty outdoor retail is moving away from synthetic base layers (insulated underwear) to either wool or a wool blend. Without going into all of the details, I will just say that wool base layers are awesome because they are soft against your skin, they move moisture very well, and they don't retain odors - the opposite of how synthetic base layers perform....until now.
Under Armour Cold Gear is the best synthetic base layer I have ever worn. The two-layer brushed fabric used in the UA Cold Gear traps heat while it move moisture away from your skin, keeping you warm and dry. The compression fit makes it extremely comfortable while the finished exterior of the fabric allows it to slide under other garments without getting tangled or hung-up. And if you have had a bad experience with synthetic base layers retaining odors, don't worry - Under Armour Cold Gear doesn't stink.
I wear my UA Cold Gear under my throughout the tournament season and then right into hunting season. This stuff is outstanding and will make a great gift for any angler on your holiday list. You can read about more great gear for bass fishing at www.HardkoreFishing.com
