There's more truth to this than you may realize. Anything that keeps a layer of air against your skin that doesn't trap moisture will warm you up.
A lot has been said but I'll throw this out. There's a business in Grand Junction that makes the warmest clothing made in the USA. The owner's name is Jerry Wigatow and his business is called Wiggy's. He's well known in Alaska and to those in our military who operate in cold climates. Unfortunately he's stopped making some of his cold weather gear and is focused on sleeping bags. He says it is due to the labor shortage. I don't doubt this but he also appears to have been burned by a retailer in Alaska, an experience that upset him, and he discontinued some of his gear. His stuff is second to none and is affordable, something not always associated with made in USA. The only caveat is his sizing. Some of it is on the small side, as in maybe you need to order an XL instead of a L. Best to call and ask questions about the garmet you are interested in and to provide your measurements. You will probably be transferred to Jerry to answer these kinds of questions. Where in this world will the owner of a factory still talk to a customer and treat him/her as if they're his most important call that day. The hallmark of his fabric is it keeps you warm even when it is wet and it moves moisture away from your body to the atmosphere. Moisture against your skin robs your body of heat. I heard about Wiggys about 15 years ago. Mentioned in a story about a father and son who flipped a float plane, winter in AK. They were able to retrieve their sleeping bags from the plane but they and the bags were soaking wet, yet the bags warmed them up somehow. I didn't believe this for a minute but was intrigued and eventually ordered a bag which was everything he said it was and more. I've bought a lot of his gear the past 15 years. The only complaint I have is I didn't buy enough of what's now unobtainum. wiggys.com
