Default RE: Gray Wolf Woolens? What's the fuss all about?

ORIGINAL: WKP Todd

Compare Graywolf stuff to any hand-made gear made in the USA. Now, is Jeff really that out of line? I know what he produces and the quality he puts into every piece of equipment he produces. He's not out of line.

I have worn Wolfskin for 8 or 9 years now. I can get anything I want from pretty much anyonefor free if I "worked" it. I continue to pay major money to continue to wear Wolfskin over any othergear on the market. Here is my reasoning.

1. Available in both Predator and Intrusion Treeline - best camo patternyou can buy - not available too many other places
2. Waterproof & actually breathes
3.Dead Quiet
4. As comfortable as PJ's
5. Very lightweight and compressable
6. Jeff is a great guy - and actually hunts like I do
7. Completely customizeable. I get double knees, special pockets, and collars.
8.Custom made to your body - where else can you get this?

Some guys spend over $100.00 on a quiver that I look at and say "My Kwikee is $20.00 and works better". Hunting equipment is a matter of supply and demand. Jeff's demand is lower because the quality and costs are high. It's not for every budget.

BTW - Lined Wolfskin pants are $269.00. Wool is crazy expensive, especially Jeff's wool because it is 100% wool, not a cheap blend like most of the other guys use. You get what you pay for.

When you hunt everyday, you can't put a price on comfort on-stand. It only took me about 12 years to spend some money on Gray Wolf, and it's the best investment I ever made. I still have the original stuff I ordered from "Marc" who used to own Gray Wolf, and my cameraman still wears it everyday during the season.I'vefinally replaced myoriginalcoatthis year. It's 8or 9 years old and is still in great condition, notears, and everyzipper and button still works flawlessly. Why did I get a new one? My cameraman doesn't have a nice coat, so he'sgetting my old one!

I could potentially work a sponsorship deal with a bigger company that could offer WKP more than Jeff is able to. Some things make me a better hunter, Gray Wolf is something that actually does this! Keeps me on-stand longer and Predator is BETTER than blob!
That is nice, but I can kill deer in a 100.00 fleece suit
