I’m looking for some new cold weather gear. I have been looking at cabelas MT50 it has 200gr thinsulate in body, 150gr in sleeves and bibs. And it’s quiet as fleece too. What do you think about it? Any one use it? What else is out there that will work for me?

I go with lot's of layers. 2 or 3 polypro thin baseliners a fleece t-neck over that, a fleece vest, uninsulated goretex outer. This way it's all more flexible. If your outerwear is insulated then it isn't useful in warmer weather.

There's some good info in this thread......

I agree. The base layer (I use Underarmour Cold Gear) and the Gore Tex outer shell are the foundation of the cold weather layering system. In between those layers, you have a lot of flexibility to use polar fleece or wool to fine tune it to the conditions. But buy the uninsulated Gore Tex parka - and maybe get it a tad large - so you can use it over a wider range of temps.

Check out Gray Wolf Woolens. The best stuff you can buy in the best camo patterns available. I like the Wolfskin w/ Lining...

I would agree to use layers, rather than a super warm/heavy outer shell. I have the MT050 7-in-1 parka and it is nice, but not for bowhunting. Once you put a couple layers on, your movement is really restricted. I purchased the Elite Fleece jacket and bibs from Cabela's this year. The jacket is nice, it has insulation but it is light enough that layering doesn't restrict movement.

I have the 4 x 4 quattro from cabellas fully insulated. removable fleece lining
underneath the jacket. I see that you live in IL and I wouldnt go without some
insulated gear. Under Armour is pretty good stuff for a base layer. The more
clothes you wear though is gonna restrict movement. this 4 x 4 i wear i can move
pretty freely in it.

I'm from IL and hunt in the late season in cold temps and my outer gear is uninsulated. I like the flexibility to add/remove layers as nesesary.
