I wore Under Armour on a bear hunt in Newfoundland and almost died. Got hyperthermia, thru up and pissed on myself. I now call it the trusted name in hyperthermia know across the globe. Spend the money on King of the Mountain or Sleeping Indian thank me later.

Been using the Rocky insulates from walmart that are kind of like under armor.
With a little progressive layering, I do not get cold unless I sweat.
undies, Shirt, Drake vest or northface (on really cold days only), and my waxed canvas McAllister jacket.

I don't rely on under armour to keep me warm. That's what my outer and middle layers are for. Under armour for me is for a good base layer without the bulk and it wicks sweat away. As far as what to use other than the expensive stuff it's gonna be about fit and what the weather is. A solid outer shell to keep weather out and then underlying layers to adjust for temp and activity level. As long as there is room for some air to move around and you have enough bulk you should be fine. As for what brand to buy it really doesn't matter. You typically pay for what you get. Cabelas and bass pro usually have some store label stuff that's cheaper and still good quality.

I use patagonia light weight long johns for most stuff. I did buy a set of Underarmour 2.0 for a thicker set of longjohns. They work pretty dang good. I wear them, plus some fleece pants, and longpants under my breathable waders and rarely have much of a problem.

I picked up some Wickers brand and Terramar brand base layers from Sierra Trading Post last year, and both have performed real well. I think for the money you can't beat Wickers.

The key is to wear a moisture-wicking material as your based layer. Got to keep the moisture off of your skin. Layer-up from there, depending on temps.

As for Underarmour - go for the BassPro Enduraskin as an option. It's the very same material manufactured by Milliken in South Carolina. They are a customer of ours - even was told this by their Sales Rep on a flight a few years ago.
