RE: Wool clothes and Elk hunting
 

I have the Weatherby wool series, and I am very satisfied. I was able to find some closeouts on this stuff at Reid's awhile back for about $120 each, compared to $180 per item (28 oz. Hooded jacket, 28 oz. pants, 14 oz. lightweight shirt-jac). This line of woolens is great for the price. They are all machine washable, have a windproof micro-fleece lining, and are reinforced at the knees, rear end, and elbows. I layered my wool with a pair of polypro shirt/pants and changed up the weight of my long underwear accordingly. I found this to be very effective. I will take both weights of wool on my late October elk hunting trip in addition to a rain poncho and I should be set. Cannot go wrong with the wool, God knew what he was doing when he made this stuff.

Blessings

I must be strange, last season on a caribou hunt I got so tired of dragging those heavy colombia pants around I gave them to the guide and went back to my poly underwear and cabelas insulated camo jean's. in the snow/bitter cold/ rain it felt like I had lost 20 lbs.

Just asking did you size the legs of the pants down and put a zipper in them?

I allways take alot of the extra out around the legs of any wool pants I buy.I allso put a full zipper down the side.This knocks off a lot of waight and makes them eazy to get though brush,snow. The zipper makes them real eazt to get on and off in a little bve tent.
