Cold weather clothing

I was pondering these thoughts last night as I sat waiting for a moose to magically appear.  It was cold, wet and snowy...temps hovering just around freezing so not really cold yet but with the dampness it was cold enough.  

No one has mentioned the effect of the wind.  It'll draw the heat out of you faster than you can imagine and that's where wool by itself fails, same with fleece. So f you're cold get one of your layers to be windproof, preferably an outer layer to keep the heat in beneath it.  

Also even though I don't like them much, hoods will keep you warmer than just headwear. Obviously a hood an a warm hat will be the fest of both worlds.

This is another one of those circular discussions. People keep going round and round about which is best. Simply accept the fact that some prefer one while some prefer the other. As long as you stay comfortably warm, there is no wrong or right opinion. To each, his own. As an aside, few have brought out how well wool and down work in combination.

If it is really cold I will put my camo warm-up pants over my shorts.

Maybe I should move to Texas!  I'm tired of being cold.
