Spend the money on a full merino wool base layer, you will not be disappointed. Its warmth to weight ratio is pretty impressive, and it is very good all around at regulating your body temperature. As for brand I prefer IceBreakers, but there are a bunch.

Depending on conditions, I use any combination of:

Mammut SS underwear top

Minus33 Wool LS

Nike tight synthetic LS

Nike loose synthetic SS

Bottom gets Patagonia long underwear and either athletic shorts or fleece pants.

Cover that shit with a Patagonia Gore-Tex shell and some Trew Eagle pants and it's GOLD. Stay dry forever.

When I lead ski trips I have to help people with packing/layers every time. I see a lot of cotton on people at first. You avoid that stuff like the plague in the backcountry, regardless of what the trip is.
