Of course a polartec of the same weave is fundamentally the same from anyone.

Smartwool rocks. All my socks are Smartwools. I bought a pair of their gloves, but they are too bulky. Fuck Eddie Bauer. My wife went through this EB phase and bought a ton of shit from them. All of it fell apart within a year of purchase. Overpriced junk. Finally after 3 years of disappointing results she stopped buying their stuff. Now she is more into Patagonia and North Face. A couple years ago EB got a new CEO. Completely changed things. North Face has been garbage since they sold out ~sometime around 2000. The new First Ascent EB stuff destroys it in quality and performance.

Best frozen margarita is an oxymoron. Rocks.

everytime I read the title of this thread I want to ask how it sounds wireless. Amusingly, that would be a cure. Something in your wires. The other cure is easier and cheaper and that is to fix what you have wired incompletely.

Keeping warm is about dealing with sweat when I am doing anything.

Specifically: http://www.smartwool.com/clothing/baselayers/mens-nts-mid-250-pattern-zip-t.html Mens version of this in half zip (sold out of them so I can't link) http://www.eddiebauer.com/catalog/product.jsp?ensembleId=44087&catPath=&viewAll=n&pg=1&cmPathInfo=T319 And this shell http://www.polaris.com/en-us/snowmobiles/shop/black-fxr-zone-mountain-jacket/pid-2863044/snow-apparel-performancegear-mens Which is raw shell and no insulation If I sat still at -25 I'd fucking freeze, but when moving it is SUPER warm and dry.

I wear a Polartec base layer for pants as I can't find wool in a tall. The base layer with the liner in my snowpants is too much. I would LOVE to find a light pair of polar fleece pants to wear on top and out for dinner after on trips. Instead I have some cotton shit sweatpants that are 2" too short that were $6. Was enough today at -10F. Did plenty of full bore riding today. Overcast so the ditches were dangerous and the trails hard to see. Rode an uber shallow windy river instead.

When I ride my sled I wear a merino wool base layer (thickness of a t-shirt) and a thick synthetic base layer on top of it (thin fleece-half the thickness of a North Face Denali) and my breathable shell. When it was -26 I added a polar fleece and fucking sweat my ass off. Pulled the extra fleece and was fine. With a syn base I tend to get cold WAY earlier. I ring both out at the end of the day. Without moisture you can't stink. Other MONSTER benefit of wool is that if you put the same amount of sweat into it and then smell it the next day the wool will smell reasonable as in I could wear it to dinner and the synthetic like it should be thrown away.

And seriously Peng you are a major candidate for wool. It WILL make a difference. Unbelievable fabric.

3 way passives in odd locations are generally lame. As for where the 2 way will sound best is up to your ears. Fixing the bs stock mounting locations will be the biggest thing you can do.

I'd like at least 2 more months of it. 3 would be fine.

Rayon, nylon, fleece, wool, cotton, doesn't matter; it ain't the material's fault Cotton, Rayon, Fleece are all awful for that though. Cotton being the worst. Wool wicks the best, keeps you the driest and is the least fragrant BY FAR.

Then stop wearing synthetic stuff. Seriously

Unless you like to stink

Synthetics suck if you sweat

Don't you live in Texas? Wth would you ever need a face mask for? I ONLY wear one up here under my helmet Needed something to cover my face with, natch It's not that it's "cold" or that it "feels cold", it's just that my skin does not care for the 10-20F wind chills. If I'm outside for an extended period I prefer to keep my skin covered, but the traditional poly/fleece hoodies & caps/beanies/balaclavas, cotton sweats, and nylon windbreakers are either too insulative, don't breath worth a damn, or absorb sweat. I wear one of these. Bomb diggity.http://www.klim.com/Motorcycle/Arctic-Balaclava.html Waaay too warm here for that on it's own it isn't as warm as what you posted but a better breathing layer

And still sucks compared to wool. Agreed. Not cold enough for wool, though. exactly why I would rather wear it.

Just sold the ML wheels and winter tires. Have $1k to go blow on something.

Exactly why I played in a different band nearly every weekend all throughout college. Have to do something to make yourself stand out. Women LOVE that.
