I probably would have died without them. I got up my first morning and it was -24 with a 20 mph wind. The high that day was a balmy -4, without the wind. 2 hours into the hunt, my neck gaitor was frozen solid from breathing through it. I had to tuck a fleece hat between it and my face to keep from cutting myself or getting frost bite.

Its kinda warm here...I hope it cools off for the late bow season.....[8D]
