Hi all,
For the past few years TG has been raving about 100% polyester as a baselayer. Like many other things that are hard to find as a woman, such as good work/hunting/snake boots, I have been unable to find 100% polyester tops and bottoms that don't cost you the arm and leg you plan to put in them, until now.
Target sells Champion brand 100% polyester tops and bottoms in the athletic wear section for $14.99 a piece-- way better than the $40-$50 tops and bottoms I've seen at the sporting goods stores. I'm slightly conflicted that they're made in Indonesia (and that I still shop at Target :-[), but on my salary I had to reconcile and concede for the sake of cheap warmth.
Sorry, I couldn't find a link, partly due to laziness...
Hope you all are well, cheers! :cheers:

Yeah, I bought some poly Champion shorts from Target that I use as boxers. Some of the waist stitching has had some unraveling... but not a problem if you have access to a sewing machine. They're still a good deal when compared to UnderArmour's prices.

Great bit of intro Thatgirl!
Underarmor is a small fortune.

If I still had some of my clothes from the 70s, I'd send them to ya T-girl. You would have to take them up a bit, but oh well. lol

I did have some pants and shirts like Travolta had in the movie. BUT, I never did any Disco dancing. :dance:

That is great looking out thatGirl, I know that I have had some measure of luck finding poly base layer tops and bottoms at all the major chain stores at a fraction of the cost compaired to outdoor recreation stores.
Poly base layers are light, warm and dry quickly.. and that is a good thing!

It's not polyester, but it's a pic from the 70s that a friend just sent me this morning. lol I'm the one on the left, holding my friend's little boy. About 18 y/o.

How did I miss this hj? What a great picture! You are missing an ear ring in your left ear though.

Awesome, HJ! You da man!!! :cowboy:

I had an earring JM. My head is turned, plus the hair would be covering it.
Thanks T-girl. lol
As if I don't feel old enough, that little boy I am holding, is now 38 y/o. :facepalm:

TG, they also have a brand called (I think) C9 that has both thick and thin wicking layers. Very affordable and durable—I wear it when I run. Which reminds me, the wife has been nagging me to get back out and run again. I guess I should do that soon. ;)
