The fact that this information is free and not gate kept is truly lifesaving. I'm glad you made it in such a simple and entertaining way, saves 10's of hours of research.

Thank you! That’s been my goal with this content. Ya it’s a bit of an info dump and it’s not super exciting but I want to put out content I wish I had when learning this stuff

Awesome Video! It was neat to learn that you want a close fit over a skin tight fit for actual use, I have seen several people get their base layers in the tightest layer so it conforms to their body like a skin tight suit. love me USGI moisture wicking/cold weather gear. USGI Sand 499 moisture wicking t shirt, polypro long johns, and a gen 1 ECWCS m81 woodland goretex parka and WE ARE GOLDEN.

Glad you found that helpful! I’ve seen plenty of people wearing skin tight (borderline compression) base layers. It works for some people but I thought it was important to point out a close fit is optimal. And the woodland goretex is my favorite hardshell 🤙🏼💪🏻

I agree that the waffle top has more flexibility than the PCU visual guide suggests. I do a lot of stop-and-start work in a rainy, ~45 degree environment. For me, my waffle top has been a constant companion under my level 6.

Ya the waffles do a great job fighting off that cool down for an application like yours

Hey, Im Norwegian and we have some really good techniques for Baselayers and cold weather gear in general. Your use of the mesh(fishnet) is slightly wrong. The Norwegian army uses the the mesh against the skin and then something called Ullfroté basically a durable thin wool shirt where the outside is smooth knit and the threads on the inside are looped back on themselves trapping warm air and still letting vapor through. Il put a link below from the Norwegian army. Let me know if you want to have a conversation about this to. In Norway we say the same about synthetic as we say about coton. Only cold Americans wear it( just a joke about Marines freezing in the Norwegian mountains). Interesting to hear different approaches to cold weather tho😊 love your channel 🇳🇴🇺🇸 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6KUdJyViKmIkNUsi=Fspi0ieHOBYhn1W0 Here is a video of Marines training in Norway, notice how they have been given Norwegian equipment because some of the US stuff doesn’t work that well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipiqfI2anbetm5Ysi=74SPKDDnWRxK81kw

If you get warm with the ninja bottoms on, just hike the legs up to just under your knees pantaloon style. Works like a charm.

Great video. I recently gust got the ECWCS level 1 pants and shirt plus the level 2 waffle top shirt. Will you do a video on midlayers? From what I hear Mount Washington is no joke.
