I've been using woolrich wool pants and a refridgewear coat for years along with Rocky boots (1,000 grams of thinsulate). My feet alwats get cold! I want to buy some really warm boots and outer layer clothing. What is the best stuff out there for cold weather stand hunting?
Thanks,

okay guys,
Here's an update. I got a bunch of heavy polypropylene fleece thermals (botoms, turtle neck uppers, sock liners, and balaclavas). I did some research and got a pair of Lacrosse PAC boots with 2000 grams of thinsulate lining. I've got plenty of wool socks for over the polypropylene sock liners.
Now I just need to get some really good outerwear (Parka and bibs). It's got to withstand very cold weather and be waterproof! What can you guys recommend in this department?
Thanks,
JOhn
