I personally would not wear flannel or any type of cotton on the ice .They will soak up and hold water including your sweat. If you want a pair for everyday wear I own a pair of Carhart ones that are pretty nice .I'm in south east NY. so my cold temperatures may not be as low as in your area.

cotton(flannel) bad , soaks up moisture(sweat) , leads to getting cold. Fleece or wool much better. :tipup:

Sweat is least of worries with cotton it is the dunking that kills.  No cotton anywhere on ice is my rule.  Wool and poly.
