I'm just curious as to what everyone is wearing on these cold hunting days. I've tried multiple brands of base layers but never seem to be happy with with way they fit throughout the day.

Down to around 40 I wear merino base layers and polar fleece with wind blocker
Colder I will start adding a mid layer of fleece
Real cold with precipitation and wind the heavy weight outer layers that have goretex come out
I hunted a tree stand in Kansas in 20deg temps, 20mph wind and light snow and stayed pretty warm
Just make sure you can draw your bow or shoulder your rifle prior to going out

Academy brand compression base layer (BCG I think)
Merino wool socks
Scent lock pants
Under armor storm 1 hoodie
Safety harness
Scent locker jacket
Cabelas hand muff
This will easily get me comfortable for all day in the 30’s
I’ll add fleece pants at the tree if needed into low 20’s
Typically do all my walking with just hoodie. Overdressing and sweating does more harm than not enough clothes

Spend the money on a great base layer... makes all the difference in the world. Cabelas Wooltimate w/windshear is a huge bang for your buck as an outer layer. Rarely need a mid layer with this combination. I also like the thermocell heated insoles. They keep a constant 72 degrees or so at all times

First Lite 150, 250, 350 weight merino top and bottoms. (Wick, Kiln, Furnace) I will wear 1, 2 or 3 in any combination. Depends on weather. Nothing but pants and a jacket on over it. Zero bulk and plenty flexible and I haven’t been cold yet. A good thick beanie can make all the difference in the world. Can’t let that heat escape from your noggin.

For my feet, toe warmers usually do the trick.

If you have time to listen Kifarucast on iTunes, the June 26 2018 episode titled "Cold weather gear with John Barklow," the product manager at Sitka. They opened my eyes to a whole new thought process of layering for cold weather and how important Actively Rewarming is, especially when cold and wet. Very interesting information to learn.

I wear the compression layer and wicking socks then put an adhesive body warmer in the center of my body just below my chest and one on each thigh. Then thermals, another layer, another layer then my outer layer ( two more socks... usually wool ,jacket, gloves,headgear...whatever). MMMMMMMM toasty!
