Hello,
when I was in the army '88 I was issued a uniform mostly consiting of 100% cotton and a woolen pullover.
then they explained how to wear it to be best protected for warm, wet or cold weather.
A lot has changed in all these years.
I've grown out of most of that stuff, other pieces are worn, and replaced with modern kit.
When I go out, I still use a lot of army kit, sturdy, comfortable, made for the job, and a bit of camo, that doesn't bother me.
BUT these day's there's a lot more plastics in the kit.
and nobody told me how to wear it (in which combinations) to be best protected for warm, wet or cold weather.
what I like to know, is there somebody who is/was in the services and knowing/willingly to instruct me?
for example, I got one of those brown t-shirts wicking or something, and I feel when I wear them in summer, they feel hotter than a regular cotton T-shirt, and besides, after wearing that one day, they stink!, I don't know how they are ment to be used?
I like to go out next winter and would be most gratefull to be warm and cosey.
Thanks for helping me out.
