The advantage of UA over layers of other cold weather clothing, is the encumbrance factor. UA gives you the heat and warmth of multi-layers of cold weather clothing but not the weight or bulkiness. That is why I like it!
The Turf Gear is made for artificial turf (football, baseball) to help protect players from getting turf burn. It is not made for impact but is supposed to work similarily to a leather jacket on a guy crashing a motorbike - help you slide rather than leaving half your skin on the ground.
