UnderArmour

Recommended Posts

Just look for anything called "Cold" gear. As far as sizing just stick to what you normally wear. They are designed to fit around your body. You don't want anything loose. If you stick to your normal size it will fit good and snug. Little pricey but well worth it.

It is worth every penny, anyone that owns it will tell you that it is just as important as wearing a jacket in the cold. With just 1 thin layer of underarmour you can trim down on the layer you wear by half and stay just as warm. Yes it's expensive...but like the old saying goes...you get what you pay for.

I've been wearing underarmour for years, on and off the ice. great stuff I like the cold gear bottoms and loose gear shirts because I don't care for the compressed fit for shirts. I wear the same size as regular clothes. Cabelas had some great prices on underarmour last winter, so keep an eye out for another sale.

K Dawg I always wear it as the first layer because it will keep the moisture off your skin. I will be getting Arctic Armour soon and I will still wear mine but will have to adjust what I put on next so I don't over heat myself. I was thinking of fleece sweat pants for some extreme comfort on the ice grin.gif

I just finally broke down and got the cold gear top and bottom this fall. The stuff is amazing. After some pheasant hunts I can literally wring out my layer on top of the Under Armour, but I feel completely dry and warm, even in a cold wind. It is awesome stuff. I ordered a size larger than I normally wear for the bottoms, just to give me a little room, and that works perfect. Still tight, but not so compressed.

I have sold this stuff for almost five years. The cold gear is the best all around no daught. If you want the latest and greatest thou, you will want to buy the 3.0 cold gear and there is only one place in Kato that has it. It is a long underwear fabrick with cold gear over it. If you are active then sitting like some posts earlier the plain cold gear would be best. The smaller the size the more the compression, and the more itchy it will feel. Most fisherman that aren't using it for ball sports are pleased with one size up. If you are using it for extree sports and want the compression stay with your normal size. You will still get the mosture wicking as long as it is in contact with you skin it does not have to compress to work.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
