Dude, don't take it personally..I was just pointing out that over beats under anytime you are commuting to work, as the OP stated he was doing. Over pants trump underwear for convenience every time, I am basing this on my personal commutes to work over the last 43 years on motorcycles. Something like a 1 piece riding suit or a snowmobile suit or anything that you can just step out of (think full length leg zippers) is just more practical than anything you wear under your clothes, that was my point. I have all kinds of thermal microfiber Under Armour type clothing myself and have never once considered using it for riding to work, it would be more trouble than it was worth once I got to work.

And since the last post raised ever-so-much ire, I'll keep going...

I love the Freeze-Out stuff from cyclegear.com... got some of it for Christmas a couple years ago and it's wonderful.

It may be because I'm normally cold wherever I go, but they are comfortable even when I get to work. 

I think I linked to the right page...

I will ride down into the 20's if the roads are dry. Once the first snow comes down and the roads get covered with all that salt and gravel, I reluctantly take my van more often.

more practical...for you at your work. point being: situations vary.

It's a discussion forum, I will always discuss the easiest way to go about achieving the goal at hand. I put it on the table because it is a viable option.

If you ride to work, you either work outside or you work inside, work is work. If you need thermal underwear because you work outside, that is totally different reason for needing them than wearing them to commute to work.
