[Iron Man2]

Anyone have used the King of the Mountains wool hunting clothes, such as the Bowman Jacket and bibs?

Any comments,

KOM wool is amazing.
The bowman jacket will keep you warm no matter temperature and when wearing KOM bibs together, fantastic !!!!!
I swear by KOM wool garments.

i have a kom bowman jacket and have a love hate with it,love the warmth,wicking,and windblocking ability,hate to drag it trough the woods,get it dirty and such..nothing but good for the garment but the coat cost as much as some pay on a house payment...mine is to warm for me,ill be trading for some windblocker clothing soon...but good stuff

I have used my Kom staff from a Montana 40 below mountain lion hunt to 25 years of elk hunting in the Rockies,the staff looks still brand new,best clothing I ever bought.

Bowman coat is the best hunting garment that you could own.Had mine since 2002.Still like new.

Pants, jacket, vest,hats, gloves, gaiters, yes I use it, bought it over several years, should last the rest of my life time if the waist line doesn't get any bigger.....

I have a Bowman jacket, it's my go to top layer once the temperatures get under 45 degrees F.  Very well made.

Great stuff, I've had mine for 10 years. Bowman is top of the line for cold temps.

I have a lot of KOM, shirts, jacket, bibs, etc.  Good stuff.  So is Autumnwood and Gray Wolf woolens. Patterns are a little different, but it's just as good.  Costs about the same as well.

Try Silent Predator,the prices are much better,sewn in Canada,and Bernie Parson is a great guy to deal with. I have alot of KOM stuff, it is nice but from now on it's SP for me. Unless that is you find some used stuff and don't have too deal with the KOM people,there customer relations stink!!!!!!

[Overspined]

Yup. Love KOM since 1993

I have a bowhunter jacket. Excellent! I agree Bernie Parsons is a great guy to do business with. You can feel comfortable with Bernie P.

Had the Bushman jacket,nice but not worth the money you pay.

I respectfully disagree:the quality of KOM wool and the construction of the garments is just excellent, and it works--I mentioned this in another thread, that wool has the amazing quality of being non-reflective, much like animal fur. As far as the price of admission--there are many synthetic garments available these days which cost as much but don't do nearly as good a job of keeping you warm, and undetected, and enduring all of it well. KOM is worth it as is Sleeping Indian, as is Gray Wolf wool. If you can find it used, it is the best investment in hunting clothing you can make IMHO.

I have owned KOM since the days of King Cavalier, if I recall his name correctly.    I still wear them every year and they have held up well.  The bunwarmer pants have been patched by me as they take the most abuse from briars and such.   For stand or still hunting in eastern woods, KOM is great.  If on a backpack hunt, the weight of wool and the need to be warm when sitting still for hours is not needed.

Great stuff...my Bowman jacket is sooo warm that I rarely use it.  Mostly use trapper shirt, vest, and bibs.  Been using the same stuff for nearly 20 years...divide that into the cost!  What I do find helpful is a layer of quiet wind stopper fleece for wool.  Also keep mine outside all season...tippit
