Oops.  I said smart wool in my last post but I was actually talking about wool power.  I always get the two confused.

4dogs,
I too used to be a fan of union suits, loved the fact you had no drafty backside in case your top got pulled above your bottoms and left the dreaded plumber's butt crack scenario !

However, the tail on my Ulffrotte' top is so long and made the way it is that is never ever a issue again. It is contoured on the sides and very long in the tail so you actually wind up with a double layer around your lower back if your bottoms are pulled up enough and keeps you warmer than a union suit. I know the Ulffrotte' stuff is expensive, or seems that way when you have to buy it, but in the end it is worth every dime !!! I am 4 or 5 seasons now into mine and don't know how I made it without them ?

Zero. None.
Don't take this wrong to all you wool fanatics but I don't own or use any. Now if I was gona be hunting Alaska on a Moose john float trip I'd take nothing but wool. Why because it's best quality is it insulates somewhat when it's wet. Ain't nobody on here bragged about it's wind stopping ability or weight or smell when wet.

For the average joe hunting 4 or 6 hours at a time and no farther than 30 minutes from a warm house or truck if they suddenly get drenched from a soaking there are MUCH better garments out there. JMHO but there is no wool in my closet! lol
Most people get rich by making more money than they have needs, me, I just reduced my needs!

I have Asbells, Filsons, Woolrich, Swanndri, Pendleton, army surplus, SallyAnns, and homemade knit stuff that my wife produces. I wear rain gear over it as needed, and wind blocking is taken care of just fine that way.
My wife makes me hats and socks, and gives me the scrap yarn. Now I have wool string silencers that match my hat!
As an old Norwegian fisherman here says:
"When you are wearin da wool, when you are cold and wet, you are warm and dry."

NoCams, thanks for your response. The problem I have with regular tops and bottoms is that I have no ass and the waist keeps riding down and unlike some of the young guys I see these days it drives me nuts, hence the union suits and bibs but the best I can find recently are the duofolds and they are still a blend.

I just finished hunting cow elk in Bird Creek near McGill NV. It was 4 degrees and wool works so well in the cold and wind. Wet smell, huh?  I love wool, not the sheep it was taken from for those whose minds wandered to the side of the road

Aside from socks I have a pair of inexpensive Columbia wool pants that I wear under my bibs during late season (the pants are about a windproof as a screen door). I have an insulated Woolrich jacket I got on clearance at Gander Mountain several years ago that I like on chilly early season hunts, and a KOM Bowman jacket I won at a raffle that I use quite a bit.

I'm down to only 6 pair of socks. Tried on my wool a few years ago before a trip, my wife said the humidity here must have caused it to shrink. (guess that was a nice way of saying I gained a bunch of weight). She gave it all away!

Now she wishes she wouldn't have done that, cause I've lost the weight and now looking to replace it all.

Lots and lots of wool!  Check out Ibex wool clothing.  Some of the best made in my opinion.  Their vests have replaced my Filson for good.  I bought a pullover 15 years ago that still looks like new after wearing it everywhere for everything.  They sell our kind of stuff on sale in the spring in their outlet site.
