Best winter gear ??

[Hetley75]

I’m kinda tired of layering so much. Anything out there that is warm that I don’t have to layer that much ? Most importantly won’t break the bank.

Try and get a set of Cabela’s stand hunter  wooltimate

they discontinued it when merged with bass pro.

but Hamburg store has had a lot of it in their  bargain cave. 

And its 50% off 

set bibs and parka would cost about 300. 

Normally  sold for 300 each item

 

if layered with one good thing underneath  the normal wooltimate series is pretty good too

Lmao Matt. Sometimes I feel like that

They don’t say stand hunter. Are these the ones

FWIW, I'm a big fan of DayOne Camo.  And also a big fan of bibs over pants to keep that draft off the waist!

How about  a starting point. What's your budget?

I have clothes that will make you melt, but also gives you a heart attack when you pay for it

What are those, just curious?  I look at it like hunting clothes are an investment.  I've been wearing DayOne for what I believe is almost 15 years now.  We spent $1000s on bows, guns, etc...clothes are equally important but the "bulk" situation is one we all wish we could reduce, especially for all day sits in cold temps.  DayOne isn't what I'd call expensive either compared to other lines, they're very affordable and custom hemmed to fit.  However there is a bulk factor...I don't think you can get away from it entirely, if you add layers, they add bulk.  The question is, can you get a thin system with great mobility and maintain all day comfort in cold temps.  Most approaches to this are the Heater Body Suit, IWOM, etc...or adding something like a quality wool vest as an extra final layer to keep the core warm and still allow you to have thinner layers on the arms for mobility.

I have the stand hunter bibs that I wear when the temperatures drop.  They are super warm with hand warmer pockets for your kidneys which is a nice add on.   I just bought Sitka fanatic series bibs and jacket it’s really expensive but I was tired of wearing a lot of layers.

I’m ok with 250 to 300. For the set

I like the bibs. I will look into those also.

Love my rivers west bibs and coat. Warm and comfortable. Reasonable for what it is. You can get a good deal if you look around.  Magnetic pockets are great.

That is the regular wooltimte .

That is warm , but not as warm as the stand hunter version.

Stand hunter is that clothing  with additional thinsulate added to it.

 

I believe  you will only be able to get it in the bargain cave.

I swear by Day One as well.   Gray Wolf Woolens is also top notch.
