UnderArmor base layer?

[al248005]

Anyone used underarmor as a base layer under the undergarments with a drysuit. Any pros/cons?

Yep. UnderArmor cold gear. Made to wick away moisture, so perfect as a base layer.

Yes, Base 2.0 in the summer and Base 3.0 in the winter. Only down side is that I had to cut a small hole in the leg for my pee valve.

A wicking layer that drys quickly when you open up your suit during SI. The only downside is picking which model..... I tend to go for the less expensive hocking models. A buddy uses the extreme skiing designs which can get pricier. The upside is that it works great for many other things beside diving so you get your money's worth.

i think the biggest down side is PRICE. I went to Bass pro and bought there XPS base layer 2.0 (top & bottoms ) and got there XPS Expedition 3.0 ( Top & bottoms ) and paid for the 2 sets about what I would have paid for under armor. And thy work just as good for less the price

Yup - much cheaper options for base layer.

What is the real difference between the 2.0 and 3.0 as far as temp wise? I'm not familiar with under armor at all as far as the different types.

I got a Cabelas about 10 minutes away so I might have to see what they have in the Cabela brand. I'm sure they have something very very similar.

This looks like a good deal if they have it in the store for that price.

Rocky brand is sold at WalMart and has three levels of base layer. I wear this when I icefish and dive. It works really well even when plus it is really cheap. I think just top or just bottom is around $18. In the spring on clearance they are about half that.
