Re: Ultralight synthetic base layer

I was recently in NYC and stopped by a store called Uniqlo where they sell
a type of synthetic long underwear called "HeatTech".  So far, I've worn it
cycling on about a 40 mile trip in 40 degree weather, and I found it
comfortable.  It's been odor free, and it dried remarkably fast.  I usually
have to change my inner layer fairly quickly once I stop, but the HeatTech
was OK to leave on once I changed the outer wool layer soaked with sweat.

I'm also planning on trying it with my VBL system over the next few weeks,
and I'm encouraged that it may work better than the thin merino that I used
previously.  It's also relatively affordable - $20 for a long sleeve top
and the same for long johns.
