Winter Cycling - Polypropylene Clothing in Canada??

I am trying to track down polypropylene clothing from a source here in Canada, but so far I have not had much luck.

MEC sells polypropylene socks and gloves but nothing else.


Any other suggestions?

I think most of the Lifa brand long underwear is still polypro, maybe check some of that out? Also, a lot of the longjohns etc geared for hunters are made out of polypro still.

But I'm curious, why specifically polypro? It is one of the lesser desirable fabrics for base layers. Stinks to high heaven, wicks slowly when wet, and takes a long time to dry compared to more updated fabrics. It also pills tremendously.

I'll have to check a hunting store!

And I am interested in polypro because I freeze, to the point of hypothermia (not exaggerating), on many of my rides using the more updated fabrics, and even using wool. There's got to be something better than "coolmax", and fleece, and polyester and many others.
