i hear ya dairy. its why i bought the sts. i could care less about whatever else it does except it allows me to wear more layers without interfering with the string. i'm not sure if that helps an onieda shooter though. i also wear fleece, and its great as long as you've got something blocking the wind. i've got a fleece hand pouch that goes around my waist like a fanny pack,

i actually thought about inventing something while i was cold this year. my knees get cold. anyway a thick camo fleece blanket that has straps for your thighs. it would sit over your lap, extending down both sides and your front to your feet. it would have the straps that you hooked around your thighs so when you stood up it would stand up with you. it would conceal your feet and legs, help keep them warm, specially my knees, and your feet a bit, and you wouldn't have to worry about dropping it, and being fleece i think it would be quiet and not interfere with you standing. sounded good to me at the time. i might make 1. wonder if i can get thick fleece in asat.
