Since most of you are "day hiking" from work or mom's kitchen to the basement it really doesnt matter what your weater is made of. It wouldn't even matter on simple overnight trips but most of you arn't going to make it that far.
Most of the people on here that advocate hardcore wool fittings fail to realize that they shouldn't be standing in the freezing rain with intense for hours doing shit and should be hunkering down in some bivouacked or naturally formed cover until the storm either clears up or goes away temporarily
where i live cold rain and intense wind for hours is most dayhikes unless its an el nino year. its like that most of the year all day, so the only way around it is to 'hunker down' and not hike for 3/4ths of the year. it is what it is.
wool, or your insulation layer in general isn't the biggest concern with staying dry. all that stuff should be staying dry unless you fricked up. your weather resistance layers matter the most.
i actually basically always sweat in cold weather when i do physical activity... is the strat to just wear a thin undershirt and windproof? anything more and i will sweat for sure
yes when i'm working in the cold i wear a thin shirt. undershirt might not be correct. i like either a tank top or a loose fitting thin t shirt. you need air flow on your armpits. that's key. tank tops can be a bit thicker and warmer. i wear warm gloves and layer up my legs still. if its really cold i can add a unbuttoned flannel or fleece, but i won't wear much. when i'm done breathing heavy the layers go on one by one a few minutes apart as i get cold.
if you are a chad, go with mesh https://www.brynjeusa.com/product-category/super-thermo/
if you are not a chad, get a thin stretchy athletic t shirt, a size or two too big

You are just wearing too much. You are meant to feel the cold when you're going out the door. Really feel it in your bones. You will warm up eventually.
when i was in my 20s i didnt know any better and wore cotton and jeans and suffered and just assumed that was how its done now that im older and discovered wool its amazing that you can go outside and sit in rough conditions and just hang out comfortably its almost a shock sometimes i have to ask myself how am i this comfortable in winter weather thats the magic of wool. take the woolpill anon you wont regert it
Same here bro. I took the wool pill this year and finally learned how to be warm in cold conditions. This winter is going to be lit.
What am I supposed to where besides jeans?
wool base layer with whatever you want overtop. socks, longjohns and a long-sleep shirt. I also got my girlfriend to knit me a wool hat (much cheaper than buying one).
As somebody who has never been in the woods in his entire life and gets all of his PrepHole information from Les Stroud exclusively, I'd say that it's not recommended to wear cotton in the cold. He recommends wicking material undershirt and rugged wool over the top of it.
Enjoy freezing too death
>thinks nothing of making his entire thermal layer down, because muh grams.
dont forget the jeans

Why are you sweating in cold weather? Are you too moronic to remove layers?

Yeah pretty much. Find a shirt and maybe a light fleece that you can get sweaty, and bring a set of clothes for camp when you're done activity.
I just take off mid first then coat off or adjust zipper/hood/vents. If it's too warm take shirt off too.
Love living in the tropics
What the frick are layers? Bugnet and some DEET are all I need.
>cotton socks
>cotton boxers
>cotton t-shirt
>cotton jeans

WOOL

Ideally I will just wear 100% wool on the inside and 100% cotton ventile jacket, canvas pants as an outer layer.
Bunch of pussies on this board, if you want to stay warm you condition yourself to the cold and get over it.
They fear cotton anon. They cannot fathom how somebody could possibly go outside wearing cotton alone.
only if you live somewhere pussy tier where its difficult to succumb to the elements
COTTON KILLS COTTON KILLS COTTON KILLS COTTON KILLS COTTON KILLS COTTON KILLS COTTON KILLS COTTON KILLS COTTON KILLS
