    I have been looking at the UA Cold gear to stay warm this winter. Has anybody tried it? It is hard to beleive it will keep you warm.

    I picked up a set. I did not get cold at all the last 3 weekends, although it really hasn’t been put to a real test yet. I can say it wicks away moisture nice. Got a little hot one morning, on the way in, (slow down Josh) and I was pretty wet after I settled in, it wicked away and left me dry and warm. I did like that feature, over a cheaper set of long under wear, that I got from sportsmans warehouse. Them are plenty warm, but once you sweat, it stays with ya. JMHO.

    I have a few pairs of the heatgear and coldgear. Both products are excellent at wicking away moisture. The coldgear is not as warm as I had hoped, but I will be trying it more this winter. I work up a sweat dragging my ice house out in the morning, and it is hard to warm up after that.

    The only draw back I have is it is not very flatering, at least not on my body It does not make me look anything like the pictures.

    Diddo on the not very flattering. Best warm clothing gear I’ve ever bought. In fact, buying second set now since my boys seem to want to wear it when I take them hunting which leaves without. Works great at hockey games too!!!!!

    Yep same here GOOD STUFF. I however decided on a 3XL for my top on the cold gear. Still fits me a little snug. Keeps you dry when active and then sitting. Great for Pheasant Hunting, Deer Hunting, Ice Fishing and Snowmobiling.

    I hAve some heat gear also. Good Stuff.

    Is it better than the regular Cabelas Thermax undies and stuff like that? Thermax is pretty good at wicking and warm also, just wondering if the Under Armour is worth the extra price from those who have worn both.

    For years I have been buying Lands End’s silk longies. Extremely low bulk factor, and very VERY warm! Plus they feel prett sweet next to the skin.

    Just me on this one.

    I thought the stuff was damn expensive.

    And my three pairs of regular long johns..do just as good for me.

    I do not like the tight feeling of the stuff.

    I think for the price I can do better.

    Just my two cents.

    I gave my outfit to Mike.

    I will not look like the ad in them either. I will probably go with 2-3x. Do they shrink at all??

    I’ve got a set and really like them. Have worked very well in all the conditions I’ve tested them out in. Unlike the rest of you though, I make the manikins blush. Like I tell my wife, “I’m so hot”. It really makes the gas tank look purdy!

    I also favor the silk. I have tried my new system this year and its working so far.

    Cabelas Silk for the first layer.- Extremely comfortable like Tuck mentioned.

    Cabelas Thermo-Stat Union Suit for second layer

    Cabelas Insulated Guidewear or the Vexilar Cold Snap Suit- Both suits have kept me warm. Guidewear almost too warm. The Vex Cold Snap suit will be perfect for the sunny warmer winter days.

    Here is the link to the stuff I buy. Quite a bit cheaper I imagine than the UA. (The UA is probably more robust for the long haul, but this is awful hard to beat! )My sister keeps me stocked up as she works there.

    Oh, and BTW, I will look like the manequin if it has a beer gut and a visible coin slot in the back.
