Scott, I also wish topics like this were discussed more. I am inthe process of getting new boots, I am torn between alpha burly and muck.

I usually wear a headnet (not actually a net) but I am very pleased with the ones from MAD. Since I wear glasses it works very well for me.

For my outer layer I am wearing browning with gore tex, no insullation. For colder weather I layer with long johns from cabelas, not sure which ones I only know they are green and warm.
