Best wool you've used

[Tom Phillips]

I was talking OUTER garment,FIRST lite is great looking stuff I only have hat/mask right now.

Has anyone tried WeatherWool? Looks like they've put alot of effort into making a quality product.

Ullfrotte Woolpower Merino Wool are the best base layer I have ever used. Very comfortable and very warm. Also wicks water away very well.

Not very sexy, but a Korean War surplus Army wool shirt is the densest wool shirt/jacket I've got. You can find them online for very reasonable prices. And, they are washable (90% wool, 10% nylon).

not sure but  i don't think so terry    sure as hell hope not!!!

Sorry Jeff, but yes they have moved most the production to China.  I heard they were still producing a small amount in NZ but not exporting any of it.  Not entirely sure that is true or not.  A year ago I bought one of their Chinese coats just to see if they maintained the quality.  I want impressed; sold it the next week on the auction site.

Sorry, double post

Love my Asbell wool as my outer layer.  I also have minus 33, Pendleton wool shirts, and Cabelas Legacy Wool, cargo pants.  

I just ordered a pair of the Legacy Wool Bibs and hope they are as good as the reviews.

Want to stay warm on stand? Add an 850 fill down jacket  from Eddie Bauer or LL bean underneath which ever wool you choose.  (BTW IMO the "down sweaters" suck.) But that's how my cold bones beat the chill. I wear ALL WOOL most of the time, with the exception of that little weightless wonder of a packable jacket. It weighs nothing and stays dry when layered, and is windproof. I've used and owned KOM, Day 1, Filson, and who knows what else. My favorite is KOM overall. Day 1 is fine, Filson is fine but not really made to shoot a bow with. Virgin wool takes my vote and the "loose" weave makes it breathe, which is nice when you aren't just sitting.  In Day 1 I just sweat like crazy if I move around at all. I love my Day 1 vest though.

Cabela's Wooltimate series bar none for long time in a blind or stand but too hot to walk in.  I use my green Johnson wool (Like the Benoit boys) for normal still hunting and my Woolrich Red plaid when the guns are going off.

For base layer I'm a fan of Justin Charles and Woolpower.

[Lady Frost]

Good question Mitch.  Something I needed to know as well.  Time to get a second job for all the stuff I wanna buy.    :D

the best wool is made right here in New Zealand      

I picked up some NZ merino last spring (or fall in NZ), and it is the best, most comfortable wool I have ever had, and I have a lot of wool. Kind of spendy to go to NZ for a couple of sweaters, but it was the best purchase that I made in the land of the kiwi.
I like my Asbell stuff, and with the merino under it, I am toasty to stupid cold temperatures. My Filson vest is another top quality product, and I still have some old Made in USA Woolrich that is very good.
