Good day all,
After a disappointing trip to Mark's where I found that no Helly Hanson or other good products were actually included in their Boxing Day sales, I am seeking some direction from someone. Does anybody know where I can get some decent thermal underwear (polypro, merino wool, etc? No cotton please) for a price that's worth it? I don't mind paying a bit of money for good stuff, either.
I'm a bit ticked with the issued stuff. Once again, the clothing system lets us down. I am told that because it is a "disposable" item we used to get 2x pairs of thermals each year. Well, that seems to no longer be the case, we get 2x pairs and must exchange them for another 2x pairs. The issued polypro is pretty good (I think so anyway), and I would be happy to use it and never buy expensive civilian stuff, but when you're doing a 2 weeks ex in January, 2 pairs just isn't enough. Even with good polypro you can sweat enough to make it damp/wet, at which point, you are better off wearing nothing, so 2 pairs just isn't enough...
Perhaps someone in the supply world that knows for sure can clarify for me whether or not I am supposed to get 2 pairs per year?
