Fishnet base layers. They work, and you want them.

[Dobermann]

Do these rub your nipples raw ? I'm serious.

Might have to bust out the bandaids

I remember the waffle long underwear from KameApart(Kmart) worked better than that capoline shit from Patagonia. Kind of the same concept.

Oft I go back to the Dakotas I will be trying these fishnet getups

No nipple damage here.

Brynje USA might be the way to go instead of rolling the dice on fees.

I noticed Brynje doesn’t have as much solid shoulder coverage as the Aclima…any issues backpacking with Brynje?

Why does this thread keep coming back to my nipples?

I night hike a mile or two a night for thermal hunting and training. I've only had them for a few hikes tho so too soon to tell.

I do think the Brynje is more comfortable than Aclima. It's a synthetic blend, tho if that's important to you. THLR said somewhere on here that they are probably more durable as a result.

The Brynje has some marketing that they specifically designed the shirt for backpacking if I recall correctly.

For anyone who was thinking about trying the DFND wool mesh shirts or leggings, they currently have a 20% off sale with code PRESDAY20: https://dfndusa.com/search?type=product&q=mesh&options[prefix]=last

Who's going to be the early adopter? Will @fwafwow come out with both 1911s blazing? Will @ResearchinStuff research this stuff? Will @Formidilosus tell us if DFND fishnets pass the drop evaluation?

Do the Long Johns have a fly?

I haven’t used them, but they strike me as quite thick.

They do look thick ... but the seamless design is a plus.

 

[MEdude]

What would the anticipated result of “thick” be?
More warmth due to greater trapped air space?
Better / worse moisture control?

 

[bbckfh]

Cost is a thing. The Brynje are $240/set and the DFND are $300, even with the discount.

Per the company - no fly.

I've read this entire 18 pages and am watching it but I'm thinking I missed something and maybe one of you could help me. With the Byrnje - is there a big difference in the poly vs the wool? I think I read that the poly dries faster but the wool is a little warmer? Does the poly get that synthetic stink to it after a few days of running around? Not sure if I need to spend the extra to get the wool?

Seems same same but different to me. The Byrnje is more comfortable, but both are OK. I think the price difference will be moot if you get hit with tarriffs/duties but it may sneak thru.

Also, don't click Fed Ex to ship from Varuste, they are a PITA, like calling you and asking for the address of the manufacturer and then sneak attacking redonkulous fees after the package is delivered...

Too warm, longer dry time.

^ Agreed

A base layer, fishnet or not, should be on the thinner side if the goal is moisture management.

You can easily adjust your mid-layer in colder conditions and keep your thinner base layers.

 

[mtwarden]

I should add this is during activities that require a fair bit of moving; if your activity is static (ice fishing, sitting in a boat, etc) then by all means thicken up the base layers—moisture management is no longer an issue.

Say it louder. The biggest mistake I see people make with base layers. The colder the conditions, the more critical moisture management becomes, which all starts at the skin/base layer.

After reading this whole thread I’m pulling the trigger on a set of the aclima woolnets
Just wondering if anyone has compared their Woolnet original crewneck to the aclima Woolnet “light” crewneck? Looks like they might be new?

I have the standard Aclima woolnets, the woolnet light and double woolnet. The light is much softer and a finer "net". I use them earlier in the season when temps are between 45-75 with a sunshirt hoodie over top. Keeps me comfortable during high exertion and short periods being stationary. Generally I'll throw a light puffy over top if/when I plan to be stationary for several hours and the temperature starts to dip approaching sunset.
