Let's cut the crap......I'm cold!
Ok guys, I guess I'm just a southern weenie, but I can't handle the dang cold weather! And I know 30 degrees isn't cold to most of you, but that is dang cold for here!
Now, I'm good on the stand for up to 3 hrs, maybe 3.5...... But when I start putting in those long, 4-5 hour sits, I get dang right cold! Shaking cold......can't shoot a bow cold......
Here is what I had on this past weekend and still got cold!
Top:
Under Armour Cold Gear
Another layer of cold gear
Duofold thermal underwear
Thin wool shirt
Insulated Grey Wolf wool vest
Warm knit sweater
Bottom:
Under armour cold gear
duo fold underwear
thin pants
unlined wool pants from Grey Wolf
In addition, wool hat and face mask....
Now, I packed all this gear in to make sure I didn't sweat.....
Like I mentioned, up to 3hrs, no problem.....4+hrs.....big problem.....
What am I missing here?

When it's cold here, 20-30, I'll wear 4 layers top and bottom including my rain gear as the outside layer, 2 pairs of socks and 800g boots. If it's windy, something to cover my face and ears.

In all seriousness......
This is what I want.....Forget the layers.... I want one bad arse outside shell that will keep me warm in 20 degree weather....Maybe one layer under it.....
Does it exist?

Do a google for Justin Charles wool. It's a merino wool base layer that I've read is fantastic! It's on my list for next year. I think the UA stuff is great if your active but don't put to much stock in it if I'm sitting. My .02 Also try some type of wind barrier jacket, Grey wolf makes one.
