Yes, Poly is the way to go. I don't know how cold you are trying to combat but here is my standard layers for MN.
Feet:
1 pair of man's business socks. You know, those skinny black ones? 100% polyester and make perfect wicking base layer. You can also buy them white labeled as "boot liners" but a 3 pack of poly business socks is cheap. I cover these with a pair of Merell Wool socks.
Legs:
1 pair of 100% polyester long johns. I then wear a set of polartech fleece pants. depending on what I am doing I have my outer layer. Snowboarding is a set of waterproof snowboarding pants. Ice fishing is a set of Artic Armor bibs. If your doing construction Perhaps a set of canvas pants would be the best option. With this layer technique you can shed or wear the polartech as temp and activity dictates. If your outer layer keeps the wind off you the polartech & poly combo will keep you warm in some serious cold temps.
Chest
1 pair of 100% poly long sleeve long johns. I then wear a 100% poly t-shirt. These shirts are pretty darn cheap this time of year because they are sold as jogging wear or basketball wear, etc. and on clearance in most places in my neck of the woods. Follow this up with a long sleeve polartech shirt and windproof coat. Artic Armor for ice fishing and a different type for snowboarding.
Bottom line is if you go with a wicking and insulation layer and its 100% synthetic you will be doing well. Adjust layers to as needed in your TN "cold" :wink:
