LOL! Back before Goretex and polypro, I used to stay warm and (relatively)dry with my legs covered in vaseline and a pair of nylons under my jungles while walking patrol with students in the swamps of the Yellow River. I was a hellavu lot more comfortable than they were.

How about the big brouhaha over the Brit "woolly-pully"? The USMC officers in my FAOBC class had them issued but there was hell to pay if you were Army and wore it under your fatigues.
Brilliant, as the Guiness brothers say....
