Lets see you in Your Day One gear
« on: October 22, 2007, 12:49:00 AM »
I have been looking hard at the Day One camo line up, been reading all the reviews on here. If you have any pics of you in your Day One's lets see em.
Right now now I am having a time deciding between the fleece or wool pull overs. I am really liking the prices on this stuff, it is the same range as a lot of Made in China stuff.

I have a couple of outfits from Gary.  I really like my light fleece pullover in VanishHybrid.  I will probably have a wool pullover soon.  I will try to post some pics soon.

I ordered wool ASAT insulated bibs with Windstop last week.

Gary thought it would take 3 weeks to get.  When I do get them I will post my impression.

The wool is NOT pre-shrunk or washable.  It is treated with something to repel water.

tomh...It's what he called the Heavy Fleece,  aprirition pattern...It doesn't nap as bad as most fleece because it is heavy or some other reason I don't know..........I wrote a story for Traditional Bowhunter in 2000 Mayish issue? called "Cruising for Bruisers"... it was a do it yourself spot and stalk POW bear hunt I did with my buddy Ed Schlief, from Anchorage. Ed was is in slump on bears so I had to go up there and show him how to it "MS Redneck Style".....he has never invited me back  :eek:  ....I killed too big a bear  :D

I just received my wool bibs. These are in ASAT and are lined and insulated.

I am very impressed.  These are well thought out and the lining is very warm and comfortable against the skin.

I like them so much I am going to order a shirt.
