Look into motorcycle under garment pieces. You could even go with a heated vest or undershirt, they run off rechargeable batteries and last a while.

Smartwool it they have dark blue?
Covert Threads does have Black under garments beside the standard OD. Check Cabela's and BPS |

Why not underarmor?
From my experience everything has sucked beside it and most others are of a similar cost when you get into other reputable manufacturers |

If he can get any of the newer waffle pattern as surplus those should be better I still wear my old military polys but that's because I had so many sets when we transitioned to the waffles Unfortunately I didn't have much more than my basic issue of the waffles when I retired OP, if its getting really cold you might need to look at doing more than retaining heat, but providing some of your own Last year when it was so very cold around here I revisited my childhood and picked up a couple of these to use http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=66638036&camp=CSE:GooglePLA:66638036:21619907:HUNTING&CAGPSPN=pla&CAWELAID=120138600003415453&catargetid=120138600002758194&cadevice=c |

Minus33 merino wool mid weight base layer tops and bottoms. I'll only wear wool from now on in winters. Thin, breathable, and cool inside but warm outside. Fuck all poly blends.
I've stood outside in blizzards on wreck scenes and been fine. With wool, you don't have to generate body heat through exertion to be warm (like Cold Gear type polys) it just works. Wool also insulates if it's wet (think sailor's wool coats), and doesn't smell under the vest!!! |

Thank you for all the ideas. I'm going to check them out. For whatever reason I never found Underarmor to be all that great.

I wear the Patagoni base layers when its real cold, less than 30 with no physical activity. Any warmer than that or being active they are too hot.

it depends on what you're going to be doing..
working in the cold? (constantly moving/exerting) sitting in the cold? (nothing "slim" will work, everything in this category will be bulky) seriously look into CRAFT (they make road cycling clothing) they're extremely warm for the relative thickness. (they're also EXTREMELY expensive, my kit cost about $450) Also, look into multiple layers of both insulating layers and windblocking layers UNDER your exterior most thermal layer. |

I bought these and haven't looked back.
If you dont like those look for anything in Merino wool or smartwool. eta: Also for the money I can't beat these. I have 12 pair and wear them every single day. Made in USA. |
