"Our uniforms work as hard as you do." That seems to be the case for every shirt or pant ive seen.

The winter months are rolling in on the east coast. Last year, NYC experienced its coldest winter in recorded history.

When I graduate in January, I would like to have the warmest and most durable gear available. However, when I sit down to search for shirts and pants, I get all sorts of percentages. 50% this, 30% that, its confusing. The most popular ive seen are Polyester, Rayon, and Wool.

Please can someone elaborate further on these materials and what should I look for in terms of warmth and durability.

Lastly, does anyone recommend Under Armour's Outdoor Line of Cold Gear pants and shirts for patrol?

Thanks in advance.

I wear the cold gear tops in the winter with a cotton shirt and am extremely happy, I've heard ofc. wearing the COLD GEAR pants in winter and they like them alot becuase they're tight so they don't look weird under your uniform pants.
