From Scoutmaster Rick Wallace:
Scouts and Parents,
I found a great deal on polypropylene (fleece) long underwear (top and bottoms) and polypro base layers today. Floyd Equipment, aka Interwest Metals (2208 Pacific Hwy E.,Tacoma, WA 98424) has a bunch of military surpluspolypro tops and bottoms. Mostly in small and medium, but I did see a few large and XL. This is the same stuff that I buy and usually pay $20-25 per piece. The guy behind the counter quoted $5 per piece, which is a great deal. Also lots of camo clothing, jackets, etc.
FYI, I only take this type of long underwear camping and hiking as it is lightweight, does not absorb water and will keep you warm even if damp.
