I use one with Teresa Asbell's Mackinaw and also under other camo.  It's also the berries under my old Winona Camo because it blocks the wind.

I've been eyein these up too.

I like vests for layering, especially it is easier to move my arms under warmer layers...

I may have to pick one up...

I have one, I like it. I do not wear it much because I do not need it often here in Alabama.

Tim-used the pull-over for a couple of years now and just got the vest, but need some more time to hunt here in Michigan to give a good rating! The pull-overs are great btw.Good question! Thanks.

3F-I feel the same way about commercial camo! No more! I really dig using wool and the deer are not spotting me in the woods as much as I thought they might! Which proves that natural is really best! Thanks.

Picked one up from Fred at Denton Hill this year. Hasn't been cold enough to try it but the quality and fit is superb.

I used it all the time last year.  It's kind of a fleece type material, but you can put it to your mouth and not blow through it at all.  I wear mine under my wool and have even worn it under my motorcycle jacket for additional warmth, the darn thing just works and I can't figure out how!

First fall with the wind blocker and vest and so far it's been great. Been in some 20 degree temps and that combo with wool shirt has been toasty. The real test will be at the end of October on Kodiak with all the wind there.
What I like best up to this point is the ability to manuever and shoot and not feel bunched while staying warm to boot. Quality is top notch.
