Polyester fleece of many types, which is sold generically as polypro and
also as Coolmax, Thermax, Polartec, Capilene, etc. THE place to get
fleece with out getting fleeced is Sierra Trading Post
http://www.sierratradingpost.com, or more specifically (this is gonna
wrap something awful)

Polartec is really good stuff, but I also have a couple of non-branded
fleece shirts from STP that are really warm. You can buy Patagucci if
you insist, but $20 per piece is my top limit, and I mostly pay $8-$12
for a top or bottom. Wash it cold and air dry it or use low heat and no
fabric softener. And it'll still have a lingering odor, probably, which
will allow other paddlers to identify you even if you're not wearing
your PW t-shirt.
