Thanks, mobow... that's about what I expected.

HCH, I saw your post on that forum; what's pictured there is Fall Gray. I've got an outfit exactly like that.

RE: Predator answer for Davidmil
 

I will speak up for Grey Wolf Woolens. I have a complete set from him thats in its second season. Its the Wolfskin fabric and I assure you that you will not find a better fabric out there. Jeff is also a great person to deal with and will answer any questions you might have.

As for Predator. IMO, its simply the best pattern out there. I particularly use Fall Brown. I think its the best of both worlds. Hides you equally well on the ground and in the tree. Since I started using Predator, I have not been seen in the tree from deer. I've had a few look up at me, mostly because of my dumb moves, but they can never figure out what I was. Any Predator pattern will do.

Bump for David; I see he's on now...

Thanks Greg... I saw it when I got back to Atlanta from Americus. Before I got a chance to reply I got spirited away by number one son. Anyway, thanks for the info. I'm with you. I worry more about what I look like 20 feet up than at ground level. Put my 220 pounds hanging on the side of tree and it's hard to break the outline. LOL I think this will be my next camo. I think they have a booth in Harrisburg every year. I'll see if they have any show specials. Only because I got to walk out of there with something.[8D] Last two time I went I left empty handed except for a few diaphram turkey calls. It would also give me a chance to see this wolfskin material.

Greg, I've been brousing Grey Wolf's website. Have you used or seen any of their wool stuff. I'm almost thinking of buying a wool outfit first. We normally have some decidedly chilly days in the Adirondacks. This Wolfskin everyone talks about, what exactly does it feel like. Is it really water repellant or just water resistant. I mean, it's not sure enough "Shower Proof" is it? AND, if it is, does it really breath like for warmer temperatures. I just got this thing for a nice wool outfit. I own two light to mid weight ones but not in an open pattern. I hope they show up in Harrisburg this year with all their stuff to look at. After looking the site over I realize it won't be cheap, but they offer a lot of nifty things as custom touches, like double seat and knees, grunt tube pockets etc.

dave, the wolfskin in not "shower proof." It's great for mist, snow, or just a light rain, but if you set in "the rain" yer gonna get all wet.

It is however, quite breatheable. I wore it this year on some pretty hot days and was relatively comfortable. I wore a light pair of warm weather "long johns" under them (no, not blue....:D) and that helped keep me cooler. It's not bad for warm weather.

David, I've got a 100% wool bomber jacket in Fall Gray... it's VERY warm, and I only wear it on days the temps are well into freezing. Obviously, it's super quiet. It's just a tad bulky for drawing my bow, but plenty workable.

The Wolfskin sorta feels like a mixture between a chamois material and cotton, and it's about as close to being waterproof as you can get without being so. The stuff almost comes out dry after the spin cycle when you wash it. It would take a pretty good extended shower to get youwet, that's for sure.

I don't think it's the most breathable stuff out there; when temps get that high, I'd prefer to wear basic cotton.

Here are pics that the admin on IA whitetail posted and here is his description of the clothing from Gray Wolf directed at me:

Don,
It is Predator fall gray.

I got the wolf skin pants with the confort max (wind stop) liner.

Then I chose the following options:
double knee
cargo pockets
bow pocket
leg zippers.

The jacket is the wolf skin jacket with comfort max.

with the following options
33 inch zipper
grunt tube pocket
sleeve adjusters
upper cargo pockets
back cargo pocket
waist draw cord
detachable hood

Great stuff and Jeff is a great guy to work with! Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to see any more pictures.

It is extremely quiet and won't get loud when it gets cold.

There is the unlined, comfortmax lined and comfortmax with lite loft (which is warmer than thinsulate). If you are going to layer under it you would probably want to go with the comfortmax liner or the unlined. I do not have the liteloft but have heard from others that it is too warm for most conditions around here and if it keeps up we may be hunting in shirt sleeves soon...

If you are going to order I would call soon and see if you can still get the 2006 prices because they are going up. I would be though if you call soon enough you would be in good shape.

I am ordering a pullover and another set of unlined pants for turkey hunting this year.

The quality of the clothing looks amazing and the features available are like no others I have seen offered. Wolfskin is awesome material Dave and I would go with it over wool myself.

RE: Predator answer for Davidmil
 

It does look like very high quality.
