How cold does it get down there? I like the looks of that mackinaw with the hood, that would be nice with a wool sweater or army shirt.

I'm one of the biggest fans of wool for hunting out here.        One of the Mackinaws in Timber Ghost is on my gotta' get list!

South MS Bowhunter - It all depends on the temps' and conditions. One of the beauties of wool is that you can wear it in a wide range of temperatures.

If I lived down thataway, I would probably get  the pullover with hood and cape. The hood is always handy....cold wind on the back of my neck sends me home quicker than anything...and the cape can be removed on the warmer days. By the way, the hood on mine is large enough to cover a Fedora, on purpose. Teresa said she made it that way for Fred's hat.

Anyway, with a medium weight wool pullover, you could hunt from 55 degrees down below freezing, depending on your layering. Don't forget wool pants.

55 degrees is roughly my starting point with wool.

Thanks Roger I placed and order last night to Ms. Asbell for the Buffalo plaid Mackinaw I was torn on this pattern/color or the Timber ghost.  My thinking was with the amount of green we have through winter the tan and black may blend better.  What do some of you think?  Also Stone Knife we get some temps in the low 30 to 20 most winters but very few, average temps stay around 40's in the late winter (Dec through Feb).

I ordered a Mackinaw in the Timber Ghost.  I have plenty of wool as it is, but nothing with the hood and cape.  By layering with more wool under the Mackinaw, I expect to have a foul weather outfit that is hard to beat...even in North Dakota!

so is the new Mackinaw one with the take off top ACCTUALLY a shirt with a colar and the hood is attached to the extra pullover. Was a bit confused on the site if it was the "basic" shirt underneath it.

Bow Plinker,

The Mackinaw is the pullover and the cape combo i e-mailed Ms. Asbell last night and that was her reply.
