Outdoor gear - part two - the base layers.

For the bottoms I have three levels.
Mild - I use fleece tights which I found at costco a few years ago. I think you can get them in many places.
Moderate - I use smartwool thermal under tights. Mine are both from Mountain Equipment Coop and they have similar ones at REI. My tights have a front panel which is wind proof.
Extreme - Snow pants. Mine are Sunice and have 4 way stretch. They have a fused fleece lining. They are quite thin and very forgiving.

Tops:
I use two levels
Mild to moderate - smartwool baselayer. Mine is from Mountain Equipment coop.
Moderate to extreme - Patagonia thermal midweight. I can't say enough about how great this layer is.

I want to also mention that I purchased Paradox thermal baselayers from Costco a few years ago - tops and bottoms. They perform just as well as the Smartwool.

I think I may have finally figured out how to use finds!! hahaha.

Also today was pretty cold and so used my RunCarla Mask as a baselayer to keep my teeth from freezing and falling out.
