krawler Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Kinda fishing related. I need to find a few of these as xmas gifts but need one for myself, keeps me extra warm on the ice. What stores sell them? I cant seem to find any for sale. Found one made by HH but dont like the material, looking for that waffle look. any ideas? thanks
misfish Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 looking for that waffle look. Whats a waffle look ? I bought a one piece way back.I dont trust that rear end flap.Like,is it really out of the way?
krawler Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Posted December 19, 2009 like a waffle shirt or that wafer look. i dont care for the flap but ive had some rough mornings on the river trying to go number 2 after a morning coffee .... nuff said
bigugli Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 They had a stack of red flannels at BPS

Vanselena Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 I've owned a dry suit undergarment for over 20 years and would never part with it.
Radnine Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Have you checked Cabela's website? Jim
Dara Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Try Marks workwearhouse. Thermal underwear...the little pillow/waffles...I think they have em
krawler Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Posted December 19, 2009 ive checked all local stores online with no luck, will try marksworkwarehouse and bps but they didnt have them on the site thanks for the help!!!
tjsa Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 forget the waffle look(nobody sees it anyways), just buy polypro, you will be warm and impressed with it.
spinnerbaitking Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 BPS $22.95 there is a big bin right in side the main door, got a pair for a buddies wife last weekend , all sizes, hope this helps Richard
Jen Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 and if you really want to be warm buy yourself one made out of fleese... I have one from giant tiger and let me tell you , it not only keeps you warm but it wicks any moisture away from your skin, so if you need to hike to a spot or get a little warm on your walk out to your spot under your float suit you never get cold and clammy... Oh and it does have the little flap... lol cheers Jen
anonymous Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 I bought mine either at Walmart or TSC, can't remember which but they were only $15 or so. And it's the old school quilted look you mentioned.
dave524 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Try TSC, Tractor Supply Company not The Shopping Channel
johnnyb Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 I've owned a dry suit undergarment for over 20 years and would never part with it. Not even to wash it? A couple times a year even??
JohnF Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 I've owned a dry suit undergarment for over 20 years and would never part with it. That's the way to go. They can be pretty pricey but really do the job. I've still got one from my cold water diving days. Otherwise you can buy thermals at Marks W.W. At least that's where I got mine. I used them under my drysuit in warm water. JF
Fishnwire Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) My brother bought a one piece set by "Under Armor" last year...they are not waffled and cost around $100 but he claims they unbelievably warm and worth every penny. $100 for underwear seems a little high to me, but he keeps insisting I give them a try. Edited December 19, 2009 by Fishnwire
frozen-fire Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 I got my thermal underwear (shirt and pant) at walmart for my late fall/winter wading.... so far so good. Keeps me warm.
Burtess Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 That "waffle knit" long underwear is crap (cotton based)..... take a look at the polypro or polyester based undies... these wick moisture away from the body and do not adsorb like cotton.... I have seen the full body at TSC (as others have replied) under the make of Misty Mountain. Burt
Steel28 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 My brother bought a one piece set by "Under Armor" last year...they are not waffled and cost around $100 but he claims they unbelievably warm and worth every penny. $100 for underwear seems a little high to me, but he keeps insisting I give them a try. +1 for Under Armor. Had it for 3 seasons so far. Great buy.
Sinker Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Yeah, stay away from the cotton stuff. There is a saying " in cold weather, cotton kills". It holds moisture, not wick it away from your skin. The poly pro stuff is great. I haven't tried the under armour gear yet, but I have it on my list to Santa S.
glen Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 I am looking for merino wool top and bottom. Clam corp makes a set i just have to find out where i can buy it. I have a pair of merino wool socks and they are the best.
Spiel Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 I agree with all who said stay away from cotton/cotton blend (waffle styles), they're useless.

I have a pair of merino wool socks and they are the best. You can't beat merino wool. Its the best stuff for keeping you warm.......even if its wet. Its all I wear on my hands and feet on the ice. S.
