Warm winter hunting clothing/ any suggestions!

[johnnyk71]

I just got the Sanctuary coat from First Lite, as an early Christmas present (and wouldn't you know, it's in the mid 70s here!)

first, it's spendy. but wow! I have never seen a better designed hunting jacket, and it is DEAD quiet. I rubbed the sleeve against the chest, and you literally hear nothing at all.  tapered,  cuffed sleeves do not get in the way of the bow string. high performance moisture wicking, and very warm. great design of inner and outer pockets, elastic cord pull tighteners everywhere, and baffled mesh pockets everywhere inside for warmers.

i'll probably never spend that much on a piece of clothing again, but it sure is nice. oh, and I got it in ASAT camo. perfect.

one more thing not mentioned is a buff...you can buy wool buffs and you can buy a polar buff which is polar fleece with another material...for your neck area...also works great to camo your face by simply pulling it up....I also get layering wool clothes from value village ..a second hand clothes store...usually has wool available   for dirt  cheap....

you have to look hard but I have buffs in snow camo and fall camo

Layering is the key for me. Synthetic, blend, or wool (base layer).  Next layer depends on weather,  wool (pants and shirt). Outer layer camo, or insulated vest, and jacket. Many retailers have recommendations for cold weather layering from light, medium, to heavy and extreme. Check out Cabelas catalog, or others that take that approach.

For the money, I stay very warm in with the Columbia wool camo. I think that it's only 75% wool, but it keeps me plenty warm.

same here I was out in 14 degree temps last week all day in a set I bought here used and I was plenty warm and plenty impressed,, not sure if I fall into a stream if I'd be just as happy while climbing out but for local urban type hunting

The coldest I've had to deal with so far this year was a week ago when it was 11deg. when I climbed into my stand. I was wearing a wool shirt topped by my Filson vest under an old 850 fill down coat I've had for many moons.This was all topped by my Predator camo jacket. I remained very comfortable for several hours. Down is hard to beat and about as natural an insulation that you'll ever find.

I suggest merino wool.  Particularly for your base layer.
