I have a Filson vest. It is wool, but used as a layer, it does a good job of blocking wind. We do occasionally have wind in Wyoming.
NOw that right there is one of the funniest things I've read on TG...
Everytime I'd gear up to flyfish with my 9' 5 wt rod, the wind was laid down...till I got to the Madison streamside, I had to turn around, hike back to the truck and regear with the 9' 7wt cause of the wind...
X2 on the noise factor... then try it again when the windblocker is COLD... and do NOT exert wearing windblocker stuff, cause you'll be soaked...if wind doesn't get in, sweat doesn't get out... and yea, I read the commercials about the Gore Wind blocker... must be some cool cats get away with that or they don't SWEAT like I do humpin a stand in or putting one up...I sweat!
