Leatherneck:

Easy there big guy. Go back and READ my posts before you blow a gasget. I'd be happy to sell you my well used Filson wool garments for TWICE what I paid for them.

Again...

Wet wool retains it's insulating properties better than any other fabric, BUT (get ready for my point...again), DRY WOOL WILL KEEP YOU WARMER THAN WET WOOL. Strongly consider an modern, silent waterproof outshell to keep your wool dry.

I ordered a couple pendleton wool shirts off of --bay for a good price, I'll see how they work under my noraml poly coat. I'm going to be buying more wool as time goes on, thismorning a got pretty cool out hunting and that was with a flanel shirt a fleece pullover a windbreaker and a heavy poly fill coat, + my bibs coming up on my torso, and still got chilled. It was 19* and a 5-10mph wind. I think when tax season gets here I see some good woolies getting bought.

Longbowben:

I know these threads occassionly weave all over the place, but before you make the effort to embarass or discredit the sincerely offerred experiences of others, you should make an effort to READ AND COMPREHEND these submissions.

Now here's the Cliff's notes version of what I said. Many years ago - '89 or '90 I beleive - I purchased a very expensivev set of KOM woolens and was very dissatisfied with them. Ten years ago, I began to purchase Filson wool products and have been extremely happy with them.

I hope this clears up the misunderstanding on your part. In the future, please attempt to be a little more respectful with your submissions. There are other sites for that kind of diatribe. We don't do that here!

Awe...... and I really wanted to hear what Jason Westbrock said before it got locked up.      :D  


"DRY WOOL WILL KEEP YOU WARMER THAN WET WOOL."

And I'll add a DRY anykindof fabric will keep you warmer than the same fabric wet....

Just dunk your man made fiber coat in the lake and put it back on and see how warn it keeps ya.  Staying dry is paramount, no matter the fabric.
