How do you keep the wind from...

[ishiwannabe]

Sucking the heat out of you on the stand? Been hunting hard lately and do ok when the wind is light. When it isn't, I can't stop from freezing.

Im looking for windproofing hunting garment info. Thanks.

Sitka 90% and Jetstream work awesome.

Also look at a mid layer with wind stopper. I am also a skier and most of that gear has a dual purpose. There are a lot of light weight jackets that incorperated the windstopper into them.

What Ferret says.I am a skier too and if you don't have to walk you can layer with that stuff.

Someone just posted that the body heater suit is great.

Nothing cuts the wind like rain gear.  You can get some pretty quiet and lightweight rain gear these days, too.  And if the wind brings rain, you're covered.

Anything with a wind barrier..windshear, etc. works great. I alternate two wool sweaters from Cabelas that have it. It is a bit noisy, but if the wind is blowing nothing is gonna hear it!

"windstopper" works fantastic. Any skier can tell you that. Be wary of knock-off brands they are not all equally effective. If it is cheap there is probably a reason!

Windstopper is trademarked much like gore-tex another product that many knock-offs just don't compare to.

Hidden Wolf has the option of putting windstopper (or the equlivent) in many of their garments.  My jack, bibs, and vest all have it and they stop the gale force winds we get here.

[FerretWYO]

Windstopper is a Gore-tex material.

Thanks guys. I guess I should have mentioned the price issue. Im not looking to spend hundreds....in fact the cheaper the better. I was just looking at Cabelas windshear fleece.

Stuff like that or a layer like the skiing gear may be the ticket.

Keep it coming, thanks.

I have a Cabelas windshear sweater that works great. Used it this morning in 25-30mph winds and was toasty warm.

[Fletcher]

Just remember, insulation on the outside of your wind barrier isn't going to help a lot.

[IndianaBowman]

You skinny guys should just put some meat on your bones!  I can hunt in a T-shirt about all year!

I really like a fleece shirt under a light wool jacket.

[swampthing]

A real thick guille suit  

[FerretWYO]

Cabelas wind shear is nice. I have a few peices of windshear clothing I wear for hunting skiing and snoeshowing. I should have mentioned that before.

Also carry a couple of candy bars with you. The sugar will generate energy and heat at the same time. Also do isometric exercises while on stand. Example tighten your chest muscles and then relax.

naturl Gear has windblock and is real warm and ya get it from Basspro shops. i have the top on in my avatar pic

[ishiwannabe]

Good stuff guys. Archer, I do both of those. Just seems like the last couple of years I keep getting colder and colder. My hunting buddies from this last week swore it was because I was "old"....lol.

Im usually a budget shopper. I have so much stuff now though that I need to upgrade. Less is more in this case.

Keep it up guys, and thanks.

Layers, and wool. Over top I have a Cabelas fleece pullover with wind stopper that I got from the classifieds here on Trad Gang. I also have for real bad days a pair of bibs I got a Wal- Mart on sale at the end of the season. They really block the wind! They have some kind of quilted lining!

Jamie,

Take a tip from "El-Cheapo" LOL!!!!!

Big Bulky Wool Sweaters!!!!!

Cover everything with tight weave cotton camo!!!

I have sweaters from XL - XXXXL... Start small(XL) and layer with larger sizes as it gets colder.

For your legs... A pair of HEAVY Wool pants,with a pair of oversized cargo pants over top.

Another tip...

If you can(many can't) skip the "longjohns" and wear the wool against your skin. The fibers "scratch" the skin,stimulating blood flow.

It's worked for me for many years!!!!!        

(and I'm ALOT older than you are!!!)
