Eight or ten years ago I bought a 32 Degrees Cool shirt at a thrift store. I fell in love with it and it quickly became my everyday next to my skin walking shirt. About five years ago my wife started trying to get me to throw it away. If there is one thing I'm good at, it's procrastination. But the neck was really stretched and there are a few holes in it, so last month I started looking at them online. I found out they also make a long sleeved Heat shirt with the same basic materials. So I am now the proud owner of four Cool shirts and two Heat shirts. Around 25 bucks for the four pack, and 20 for the two pack.
Also last hiking season there was a lot of talk about fishnet base layers. There are pictures of Hillary wearing one on his little mountain climbing adventure in 1953, so it is not new by any means. There is only one company from Norway that is selling the real deal in the states. But a top and bottom will set you back 150 dollars. So I shopped for see through mesh shirts instead. One of which I bought for about 10 bucks and wore for the first time today, paired with one of the Heat shirts. It was really toasty. I did not work up a sweat, so don't really know if it's as good at wicking as advertised.
