    Compression wear?

    What do people get out of compression wear? I'm taking about polyester/elastane pants/tops. When you're hot it makes you hotter and when you're cold, it makes you colder. What's the deal?

    I find they are ideal if it's not quite cold enough for longs, also if you get good ones that breath they are a god send if your hunting areas prone to sand flies keeping your extremeties covered from the bitey little cnuts !!!!!

    Sun/bug protection is good. Overheating/overcooling is not. What I need is a second skin.
