Very quiet, I put it in the dryer for a bit with no heat. I found it to be soft, quiet, functional & very warm. Mike

One little device, simple, light, cheap is a kidney warmer belt. It keeps your kidneys and low back warm. It uses disposable heat packs, it works amazing. Heat Factory is the brand I use.

I wear a wool underwear layer, followed by a sweater or vest layer topped by a jacket. Good boots, gloves and hat finish up the attire. Since I am diabetic, I go home if that is not warm enough.

Think I kinda got called out on this one... thx Gary!

Heater Body Suit hands down. Most stuff guys recommend here would get me maybe 2 hours into a hunt before being cold. HBS lets me hunt all day (dark to dark) at -20. Plus the freedom of not getting sweated up walking in, or having the burden of being bulky for the shot.

My buddy is a heater body suit guy but then again he is the guy that buys all the new stuff that comes out    :biglaugh:  I find that my duofold long under britches work great as a base layer add a nice wool shirt from the Asbel's a KOM vest then top that with Hidden wolf outers and I'm good for the day. Well as long as it doesn't get much lower than -0.

Move to south Florida - then you'll be asking what to wear when it's in the 80's when you head to the stand !    :D

I will bring a wool blanket in a bed roll style rolled from top to bottom then a small bungee around the ends then wear it with one arm and your head thru it to and from the stand,, honestly it keeps you toasty warm and when its time to shoot just stand up and it falls down behind you not making a sound because wool is so quiet, I have one with a 10" slit in the middle which I will wear as a poncho sometimes.

I want to add to what Bigriver said about the heat factory warmers.I put a body warmer on my kidneys,one on my chest,and between my shoulder blades when it turns frigid.I like to put mine on my second layer.

You have lots of answers on clothes, so I'm going to add just one item that has helped me in Minnesota Winter Hunts including well below zero...Thermacare lower back wraps.  Do NOT get the generic brands as they just do not work very well.  Thermacare, however, last about 12 hours and will do a lot to keep your kidney area warm.  If your first layer is a thin, wicking poly or wool, just put it on over that.  They are too hot to put right against the skin.  Personally, I just won't hunt in very cold weather again without them.

Wool base layers like wool power & smart wool, wool outer layers, down jacket layer ultra lite 800 fill, muff, hand warmers, two tracks coups hat, pack boots with warmers on the toes and Arctic shield boot covers. Good to go and quiet.
