RE: Wool clothes and Elk hunting
I have the Weatherby wool series, and I am very satisfied. I was able to find some closeouts on this stuff at Reid's awhile back for about $120 each, compared to $180 per item (28 oz. Hooded jacket, 28 oz. pants, 14 oz. lightweight shirt-jac). This line of woolens is great for the price. They are all machine washable, have a windproof micro-fleece lining, and are reinforced at the knees, rear end, and elbows. I layered my wool with a pair of polypro shirt/pants and changed up the weight of my long underwear accordingly. I found this to be very effective. I will take both weights of wool on my late October elk hunting trip in addition to a rain poncho and I should be set. Cannot go wrong with the wool, God knew what he was doing when he made this stuff.
