I need some good insulation for the cold. I havent really worked out in the cold but I have worked in the cold. I am looking to wear the least but keep warm the most. This means my carhart jacket wont work  So far I have found under armour cold gear What else is on the market? Is there anything I can buy where I wont be paying for the name? ETA: working out in the cold means riding a bike (no bike shorts) and hiking and basketball |

Like a base layer or outer layer or all of it? What kind of activity? Like running, xc skiing, snowshoeing? I'd say look at mid-weight polypropylene from REI and Patagonia Capilene for base. XC Sporthill and Hind make great outer layers for high activity levels. Mountain Hardwear, Arc'Teryx and other outdoor/mountaineering brands make great cold weather athletic apparel too. Based on the edit: You want breathable so I am thinking softshell jacket/top. Tight weave nylon like Schoeller. Most of the brands I listed will make something perfect. Legs are harder. I would wear something different for riding and hiking probably. If I had to have one for both I would go with my Mountain Hardwear Schoeller loose-tights. |
