Warm hunting clothes

[borocat]

Looking for recs for the best warmest cold gear. I mostly hunt trees. Tired of being cold. I have some scentlock just bought some sale Treezyn stuff. I layer pretty well. Merino base or UA cold gear. Lined pants, same with tops. Usually UA cold gear then long sleeve fleece then hoodie or jacket. At this point money isn’t an issue. Is Sitka worth the money? Thanks for the help

I've got a closet full of stuff and nothings warmer than my down jacket.

Starting with next to skin you go merino, down, then wind blocker in that order. That will cover the coldest it’s goes down here

Lose fit layered clothing and boots. If it is really cold i will carry my insulated bibs or a blanket to keep over my legs.

My only recommendation is to not challenge yourself to see how few clothes you can get by with on a ladder stand. Saturday morning was brutal...

How about well placed hot hands.......works every time.

Yes. I froze Saturday morning. 25 deg and damp.

I've run through UA, Black Ovis, First Lite, Polartec, Tru-Spec, etc.

First Lite Furnace merino for base layer, some flavor of mid-layer if necessary, and a windproof outershell. ECWCS parka with a zip-in fleece if it's miserably cold/raining/snowing and is a less expensive alternative to a lot of the big dollar brand name outer layers (Sitka, FL, etc).

Have you considered hunting from a ground blind?

I've brought a sleeping bag and climbed in it. Worked well and was lighter than carrying a Mr Buddy Heater

There ya go. Companies can claim whatever they want about their synthetic fills but nothing beats a heavy down jacket. Long johns, shirt, hoodie, down jacket. Has never let me down, but if it ever gets Iowa cold, I'm staying home.

I had 4 layers of FL on Saturday morning Sitting in a tripod
In central Texas.
Follow a system and it works.
....Of course my toes didn’t have 4 layers on!

You get what you pay for. I run base layer UA then Sitka. Kelvin lite jacket, regular pants, Hudson bibs, stormfront for wind/rain, waterfowl gloves, and wool socks with insulated boots. Good neck gaiter/top and I’m good.

Them toes used to be what got to me. Then I found out about neoprene fishing socks. Those things work great to keep feet warm in very cold weather.

Sitka. I’m currently sitting in 26* by the river and with the fanatic line, I’m good to go. I have the neck gator and beanie, good socks and insulated boots.
