I lived in mine for a full week in the UP. The pattern is great....Oak Ridge is appropriate, I spent most of my time up on an oak ridge this year. I have also used it here, back home in my farmland/swamps. I shot a deer while wearing it at about 12 yards (gun kill, so no pics). I love this pattern, and there is something about this wool that is different...that I like. It is extra heavy weight,but some how it seems thicker....it traps a lot of air, very warm. I have sat in some pretty cold temps with this, with only long johns and a sweater underneath. Excellent garment.
