I'm a wool fan. When its cold I like 24 oz. or thicker. It stays quiet, does not shine, does not make tapping noises when a twig slaps it. Can be rough if you continuously wipe your nose on your sleeve though!

Predator fleece w wind blok,  dead quite wind proof and not to bulky, like an asbell wool vest under that. And you can get it from a sponsor here

Wool , the WORST part is price for most part and the fact that much of it lets wind thru...but still LOVE WOOL

[awbowman]

Fleece with windblock.  I don't hunt much in the rain anymore.

Im also a recent wool convert. To get around the cost I've started hitting the local resale shops and good will. You'd be amazed what they have. Once a week or so I go in and find 1-2 sweaters and the occasional jacket. My latest and greatest find was a vintage Woolrich fleece-lined wool coat for $8!!! Wearing it over a couple of my $3 sweaters keeps me toasty.

I like wool or Wooltimate with Windshear. Add merino wool baselayers, socks, hat, and a down vest.

I am having trouble convincing my wife how badly I need some KOM or Sleeping Indian (due to the price) I bought some Natural Gear with Winderceptor Fleece. Isn't as warm as wool would be I imagine, but for the price I got it I am definitely happy! I put on an ASAT 3d leafy suit so I just basically look for the warmest clothing that I can get at a reasonable price.

Cabelas Wooltimate has worked for me especially the pants.

I use a Sitka jacket that has a soft outer layer and gortex wind blocking core.  I than wear a slick primal loft layer for warmth underneath and merino wool underneath that against my skin. The slick primal loft really keeps you from feeling bound up with too many clothes.

I wore KOM wool for years.  The bowhunter jacket with windblock.  It was just ok for me.  I'm much warmer and have much more freedom of movement layering like shown above with the Sitka gear.  I'm pretty lean and really like the tighter athletic fit of Sitka.

I used to use KOM wool exclusively.  I bought a sitka stratus jacket.  What I found is that wool has little if any  give or stretch it is very rigid.  In some postions made it uncomfortable feeling at anchor.  I also had the KOM windshear jacket and bibs it was not warm at all to me.    The stratus Jacket and bibs is what I wear now.  It is pricey but there is nothing better for freedom of movement and wind breaking. And I do not get near as cold in sitka.  I have since purchased ascent and the fanatic jacket and bibs.  If freedom of movement, light weight materials, silent and warmth is what you are looking for then go with Sitka.  Another pro is that it is way more water resistant than Wool.

Wool is the best material for warmth in the outdoors whether hunting and fishing, hiking, or just loafing around.  

It's quiet when brushing against itself/your gear/trees, rain resistant, warm in a WIDE range of temps without overheating you, doesn't reflect light, doesn't hold human odor well, and keeps you warm even when it's wet.

I live in a cold climate and wool is not warm enough for me except early in the year . It seems the more you get it away from your skin by layering the less effect it has. A parka with thinsilate is the best, the more you layer the harder it is to shoot and the more you sweat getting to your stand .Keeping my feet warm is the hardest.....Tim

Ron La Clair,s longhunter wool shirt(heavyweight) it is light and warm, comes down past your butt(so no pull up and exposure when you bend or sit). best outer garment I ever owned.

Above 20 degrees to 55, my Swanee wool and below freezing my camo double Mac Filson wool, with the proper 'under the coat' layers to match the conditions.  Wool and layering works for extreme temps, but if your wool is not tight weaved and you are out in a North Dakota ground blizzard, a wind breaking anorak will keep you warm in Arctic temps.

I wear a wool plaid Woolrich Stag Coat which serves me well.

I have not found anything better than my wool vest from Charlie Two Tracks.

Wool layered over fleece, can't be beat in cold weather, Merino baselayer underneath!

[Jason Kendall]

Low nap fleece with wind shear for me. I tried KOM wool and it picks up everything when walking in the woods. Wind goes right through it too.
