my skinny friends really do like the under armour though.

My current version of under armour is a tshirt that I wore back  in 8th grade that's super skin tight and 3" too short now.

 

Hillbilly compression gear.

Under Armour Infrared is good stuff.

I have the top and the bottom.

I wear an old wool sweater over the UA and then an insulated wind jacket over that.

On bottom, I wear the UA under fleece sweat pants or jeans and then rainsuit bottom over that.

This setup has kept me warm in temps down to mid to high teens.

Any colder than that, you won't see me out there on the water!

For 60 bucks you can get a cheap snowmobile suit, be warm and able to move. I've never been able to be comfortable when layering, nothing fits right when I layer.

"nothing fits right when I layer"

As long as she doesn't complain, I wouldn't worry about it!

Patagonia  (Capilene 4 - heaviest weight) - expensive but incredibly warm and dry, great at wicking moisture away.  Mine is still going strong 10 years later.

I really did not like the way the UA made me feel. I'd rather wear the Cabela's stuff top and bottom with layers over that.

base layer, nice warm shirt , fleece, wind/water proof outer. Hat and gloves. I'd good down to 20 or so. I'm MOSTLY done fishing when its in the teens.

Save your money from all of the name brand expensive layers. For your base layer get on ebay and get some Polypros military issue. Used them for years for hunting and fishing and in the military. Put these on first then any other clothing. Wash on delicate and dry on low heat or you will ruin them. They are a fraction of the price and no short supply of them. The prices for some of these brands mentioned is ridiculous. Stay warm!

Be forewarned.  One should not put on their base layer in a well lite room with mirrors.  I did, and looked up and didn't know whether to laugh or cry!!  I had to make a decision whether to go on a diet or to start dressing in the dark in a room with no mirrors.    Kinda hurts when you stub your toe in a dark room!!!
