Pretty hard to argue with that! Good looking combo. Wool over silk undies is my next test. All natural.
Are those Sitka Supremes in your quiver, Ron?

Great look! I often wonder if it would be too warm for East Texas. Mostly in the 40's and 50's in hunting season.

I love the theory, idea, and functionality I read about... any thoughts.

Always like to wear a vest for the warmth without restricting arm movement.With the hood to keep the snow from the trees falling down your neck this looks like the perfect wintertime garment.
were it worth the trouble? Huh? What trouble?

Jmgcurve, You could always order the lighter weight version Ron offers. With just a layer of Ullfrotte' 400 gr longjohns on and the lightweight version you should be about right for 40's. JMHO

NICE looking stuff. Great idea
 Will it come in a scent-lock style? with pockets for range finders and releases and mock scrape making tools and a butt-out tool and...  :biglaugh:

Thanks

Ever since I read that article I pay attention to what I/my family have on when near a fire.

Highplains,
I believe it was Paul who had the wool on and it contributed to his survival. Pretty sure it was one of the other fellas with poly and he died.
The lesson learned is still the same for us. My poly hasn't been used since that article. Smart wool and Filson for me. It's spendy but will last till I don't need it.
