something to stop the wind - Shirt

[longbowben]

Frog togs very light hard to rip .

Mine must be an early model or something. The berber fleece vest and fleece sweatshirt I have in windstopper both sound like they have walmart bags to stop the wind. But they do stop the wind.

And a nice Swanndri is a good thing for wind.

I have a drab green pullover wind shirt, made from very lightweight nylon. It compresses down to the size of my fist so i can carry it in my pocket. cuts the wind great, and has a hood. Can't remember who makes it, but I am sure there are more than one version.

I think the Wind Stopper makes noise as well but it does not seem loud enough to bother deer. I can hear it when I draw but they are far enough away that they do not.

I have a Cabela's Berber Fleece jacket w/ Wind Stopper that I never wore because of the noise. I have worn it several times this year and the deer have not heard me draw. I still only wear it in the wind though. The wind blocking membrane makes a huge difference in warmth.

Windstopper all the way.  Also look into thin running tops with windblock technology.  Those are the best around for what you want it to do.  

Quick search on  www.rei-outlet.com  or  www.sierratradingpost.com  may help you out.

if it's windy out the noise will be hard for a deer to hear,on a quiet still morning, maybe.Any of the cabelas dry plus is an excellent windblocker.You can get a pullover,jacket outer garment with the new fleece or saddle cloth for what you would pay for a windstopper sweater.I have an older model dry plus pullover that is about the weight of a sweatshirt type jacket.very good for layering and blocks the wind.The new ones are quieter than mine.

there is lots of stuff out there for tops but I have found little around here for bottoms...I guess I will have to look at the golf stuff.

If it wasn't so noisy, the Filson tin cloth chaps are a great windstopper over some longjohns and Carharrt insulated pants.

Look at cycling stuff too.  I have some tights with wind blocker that I used to wear when I was training in the winter.  You can get some mid weight under them, then the tights then something over that.

two places I never thought of looking.you can buy a lot of different tops of a thin nature but few things for bottoms....
