Base Layers

I was just thinking about that drying overnight. That is often the best test. Even higher priced gear can fail the overnight test. Brands like Oakley, that have jumped on the tech clothing wagon seem prone to problems. I have a couple of pairs of Oakley microfleece pants, that seem very well made until you wash them. Their Chinese manufacturer must have used cotton in the elastic of the waist band. So while the micro fleece dries in an hour or so, the waist band takes 12 hours to air dry. An almost identical product from Orage, takes less than a couple of hours for the waistband to dry. Not really a problem for skiing, but worn under a dry suit for water sports, would be very uncomfortable.
