Your mission should you choose to accept is to help me outfit my girlfriend & her mom for their trip to Antarctica. Yes, Antarctica. Today my goal is to figure out what to do for bottoms. Pretend we're starting from scratch. I'm thinking of a 3 layer approach, Base, Thermal, Shell. [I'm avoiding a snow suit approach].

SHELL - For all my winter outdoor pursuits (particularly hunting and backcountry skiing) I have long since abandoned modern snazzy fabrics in favor of old school heavy duty Army Surplus wool pants. Does anyone know the 'real' name of these pants or a good place to look for them near Lansing or on the 'net?

THERMAL - Fleece pants, no-brainer.

BASE - Snazzy wicking layer. Cabelas will have something.
