    I know this sounds really silly, but I am married to a Norwegian who grew up in extreme cold. He told me that just putting on a clean pair of socks every few hours helps immensely. I think I threw my dirty ones at him the first time he said that. But it does help a lot.

    I don't have any health conditions. My doctor said I'm just more sensitive to cold now, since I'm losing bodyfat. I'm looking for lightweight clothes that will keep me warm.

    Thanks. I will look up cuddle duds, lol. Interesting name. I hope kohls has their no minimum free shipping going on.

    my doctor told me the same thing and he told me it could last for a couple years. *pulls out flannel sheets to use in the summer*

    So I should stock up on more socks as well? :laugh: I think I'll try that out for a week. Can never have enough socks anyway. I'm mostly cold indoors and adjust to outdoor weather fine enough. I guess it's the air conditioning and indoor insulation that I'm very sensitive to.

    Hopefully, when I buy some lightweight clothing for cold weather, that should fix the problem. :drinker: If I see some Under Armour on sale again (missed the last one), I would definitely try the brand out. But for now, out of budget, and I'll be trying other brands first.

    I resisted buying quality workout gear for a long time. I bought one reebok shirt, and one nike pair of shorts AND I went and got tfitted for running shoes at a a store that specilaizes in runnig....I dont regret it for a second. Expensive yes but it really is just so much more comfortable working out in.

    I love UA's coldgear compression pants. It's almost like they're magical...they feel like one layer of fabric but one side is soft and warm (brushed, maybe?) and the other is smooth.

    I paid $45 at a local UA outlet store but they retail for $50.

    I wear regular shirts, not UA.

    UA also makes great running socks. I think they're something like resistor training socks. Remember to get long socks for winter running.

    Definitely worth it! I love Under Armour - everything is well built and works great in cold weather! :happy:

    UA stuff is great - I've never tried the Cold Gear.

    Anything silk next to the skin with another layer over top will help. You might try motorcycle cold-weather apparel. You'll find a lot of stuff that's light weight and wicks moisture away from your skin. I have a pair of silk gloves I wear under my elk skin gloves and they do wonders.
