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.

I wore panty hose under wash and wear fatigue pants one time. Worked just fine and kept me warm, but I felt like a cross dresser and was afraid somebody would find out so I never did it again. Not much privacy on a tank, and the latrine was behind a tree. I wasn't very in touch with my feminine side back then.

Never tried the vaseline, not in that application anyway.
