Best Wind Cutter I have ever Worn was either Light Leather or Buckskin. NO MORE WIND PROBLEMS!!

Being an old school old fart, if it ain't wool you can keep it...PR

I swear by my Rivers West gear. H2P Law jacket and pants. Waterproof and windproof, unsulates well enough and super quiet. Won't get crunchy hard in the cold. I have the boonie hat too and the bill bends well when shooting the recurve. Stretchy too. I've found nothing better yet. Can layer under it as well. Oh, and it has a radial collar that come up the back of the neck. NICE!

Longhunter shirt from Ron La clair. It goes past your but and is made of blanket wool and will keep you warm without the overheating and sweat issues. Best item I have.

Oh and a set of Polartech 300wght fleece works great as a base layer

Been wanting to add my final piece this year and got the chance since Cabelas has them on sale right now. Wool sweater with windshear lining so my arms can stay as warm as my core under my GWW vest. I hunted this morning 35 degrees and a stiff 15-20MPH North wind. Here is what I had on and got a tad chilly for about an hour before the temp went up enough around 9AM.

1)Ullfrotte' 400 gr top and bottom
2) Cabelas Microtex pants ( blue jean thickness )
3) Lacrosse Alpha Lites 7MM thick boots
4) Cabelas wool / windshear sweater
5) Predator fleece beannie hat

Looking back I wish I would have worn my thin neck gaitor and had a set of chemical hand warmers and I would have been totally comfy. The back of my hands got cold being that NO one seems to line the outside face of pockets on windproof tops ??? Pockets should be lined folks ! So far I really like this sweater from Cabelas and they are $100 off right now guys !

I'm trying to figure out how some of you guys can move with all that stuff on, don't get me wrong, I know you probably need it or you wouldn't wear it but it does sound pretty bulky.

Here is what I wear,

Fleece zip turtleneck (thin)
smart wool sweater (thin)
Swanndri shirt, I have never noticed if the wind gets through it or not.
Gray wolf woolens vest with wind blocker.
wool long john bottoms
wool pants.
merino wool/or fleece socks, thick wool socks
Mickey boots.
mittens that the finger part comes off so your fingers are exposed ( I shoot with a tab )

This list makes it sound like mine is a lot also.

The cabelas stand master bibs are awesome.  The best part is I wear just a thin merino wool long john and microtex pants in and when I get to the stand I trap in all the warmth with the bibs.  

I love them.

golfers use a wind shirt, a very tightly woven synthetic meterial shirt (and pants).  I use one and it works great.  Who cares what colors, they are worn beneath the outer layer and are covered.  These can be substantially cheaper than many other options and I have found them to be awesome for stopping the wind.  That means needing to wear less bulk in clothing too.
