Wool breaths good when hunting.So wool should not make you sweat. I beleave most time it is the walking strate up hill that dose that.

Here is what I have found out on wool. How good and for what weather


1 weatherby wool= Is real heavy. VERY VERY good for ice fishing or stand hunting in bitter cold.Not the best for walking the moutains.

2 Sleeping Indian river=Very good wool.Good for all around use tight weave.Very good but costly.

3 Fillson = This is allso very good. I use this one a lot.The camo cost a little less than indian but real close to the same quality.

4 woolrich = Normaly lighter and not as tight weave asfill/indian. Harder to find good camo in it.Good for layering.

5 pendleton= Real close run with woolrich. They make some real nice items[normaly in bright colors].Not much camo dose have many dif waights for layering.

6 codet = No camo that I could find.They do make it in a good green for hunting.The wool seems to be very good,the stiching did not hold up real good. 75% wool blend

7 columbia= Is a cheeper wool. My wife uses it every year.Holds up very well,good camo,eazy to walk in. It is not as tight weave but little wind gets though.The do not use 100%virgin

8 cabelas makes some good wool I have not tryed them.The one with gor-tex I may end up buying some :}

9 army/navy= This wool is allso good. The main deal with it is it is very ichy. Good to layer with but if it tuches your skin and you hav some movmeny you will be sore.They make some real good scarves.Gloves are allso good .

I have #1 3 4 5 7 9 I have pants and coats in them. Out of them I normaly use FILLSON,COLUMBIA and WOOLRICH.
If weather is very cold I go to my weatherby.I did and still do have some army Items.I do not use them any more.I do not find many wool pants in the salvation army stors but you can find lots of shirts.

If I did not use them 30 or more days a year I would buy COLUMBIA. They have very good wool for the money spent.I am sure you would be happy.They have lots pockets,HEAVY nees.

One thing I can tell you is put ZIPPERS in the legs. I buy long zippers and put them in my self.This makes them very eazy to put on,and if you want to have light pants on then put your heavy ones on it is eazy.If you know you will be in a lot of snow toy can put elastic in the lower leg this will keep the pants down and keep snow out.
