I wear long underwear from the early fall to summer. I have found that the underarmer stuff makes my legs itch. any kind that is made with marino wool are the best.

I use the wal mart imatation under armor, cheaper and it sure don't feel bulky. The trick is to use a windproof layer over the top when your not move'in. I run a little warmer then most but I go ua, a t-shirt, my old lucky hoodie, and one of two bush popper type button up shirts my wife custom made me and I usauly don't wear the button up much once I get move'in.

Bob,
I have had one pair (my first pair) for about 1 1/2 years, I just got done lambing our sheep and I would go two or three days with out taking my cloths off. The whole time they have held up. You can go online to their web site and order off of it.

We have about 100 head of sheep. They are mostly suffolk with a few Jacob,CVM, and suffolk colombia crosses.
Lambing this past few years have been pretty nice we have just done our own. Before that we were contract lambers I guess you would say. We helped out two different ranches and lambed out about 2500 head on one place in march and then 1000 head for another place in may.
