I use Duofold long johns made from merino wool. When the temp is below 30F, I wear 2 pairs with the second pair one size larger. I still freeze, of course, but at least I'm trying.

 

Carhart unions!!

 

I have a cabelas union suit which goes over my Wool Power layer. Deadly combo in the winter

 

I've been thinking about getting one of those Cabelas Union suits but they don't make then in tall so I have been holding off. So they are as good as they say they are?

 

My x scents i bought a few years ago are really comfortable.... been very happy with them...

 

Layers!!! I use a ploy-pro base layer (top & bottoms), fleece over that, then my camo clothes (Under Armor top and bottoms) then a heavy jacket and pants. I also have a set of Columbia Wool jacket and bibs http://www.cabelas.com/product/Colu...%2Bmatchall&WTz_st=SearchRefinements&form_state=searchForm&search=wool&Ntt=wool
that I wear when the temps really drop. I also like it because they are dark brown and seem to blend in a bit better in late season. I stay warm but not as warm as I used to as a younger man

I am in the process of making a homemade Heater Body Suit. As soon as I get done I will post pics and details on how to make it yourself.

 

I've tried tons and by far the warmest for me are the black fleece under layers. Got them at gander and they are pretty affordable too. They are just black, and regular fleece like you'd find on a jacket. Incredibly warm underlayer, can get a little sweaty though if you're walking a lot, usually just want this stuff for cold sits.

 

I wear Cabelas polartec stuff. Its pry not as good as merino wool, but its way cheaper and gets the job done. They seem to put it on clearance every year too.

 

Yeah that's exactly the same sort of stuff I use except mine was gander mountain brand. Incredibly warm stuff and very affordable. Can't imagine much warmer than that.

 

If you know someone in the Military buy the ECW Gen III top and bottoms underwear. They also have a light weight top/bottom that you can wear under them for layering...Very comfortable and I guarantee that you will not get cold....

 

I bought some from this army surplus site, really warm and very affordable. They have many different weights of thermals. I bought some of the ECWCS stuff and it works really well for me.

i use warmbag now.joe has them on sale for 149 dollars in asat.all i wear is poly underwear and archery pants.fleece top.thats it.if i am colder i will wear my woolrich pants from 46 years ago.wool is by far warmest and is real soft.

hand warmers/etc really are what i use if cold. i use muff for my hands with handwarmer inside and drop toe warmer in my boots.
scarf around my neck and set to go.

 

my favorite stuff is patagonia... the capilene 3-4 stuff is really warm, its a fleece like material. kinda pricey but i like it... i also ski a lot and use it there too.

 

I like minus 33 wool... midweight and heavy weight leggings then insulated bibs(windproof is key) midweight turtleneck(sometimes another midweight crew) then heavyweight crew and a down vest under my jacket(also windproof) I am good to around 20 degrees if its not too windy...

 

Cabelas sells the ECWCS base layers, they are the same ones I was issued from the Army. They work really well, I was stationed in Alaska for 4 years and they almost always kept me warm!

 

Justin Charles heavyweight wool is what keeps me the warmest. Fleece just does not keep me warm like wool.

 

I ordered some firstlite baselayer[merenio wool]!should b here today and i'll let you know how it works!!!

 

wool power 400gram without a doubt...

 

Well its definetly that time of year. Its cold most everywhere in the United States and the time old question comes. How do I stay warm sitting on the deer stand or for any outdoor activity? Well this is only my opinion and you can go with it or not.
Step 1- Know what the temps are going to be during your outdoor duration and wind speed.
Step 2- Man up, cause nothing can stop mother nature. When its cold, its cold. LOL
Step 3- Layering is not the most important, windproof is, however. When the wind touches your skin its gonna freeze you to death with no blood circulating.
Step 4- Wool is the warmest fabric known to man. Use it, but in modearation.
Step 5- I would almost be certain, GOD made handwarmers for his children to use. So use them.
Step 6- This is exactly what I do regardless of how far I have to walk. I pack a back pack with the heavier gear and I dont put it on until I have been in the stand about 10 minutes. Dont let your body temp rising ruin your day. Take it slow when dressed warm, to stay warm.

Lastly. I believe you get what you pay for in hunting gear. I would say that Under Armour is the best thing happening right now. Its pricey but IMO the best stuff made to date. If your gonna be in a stand with temps below 30 and some wind you cant go wrong with the COLDGEAR 3.0 and then a pair of windproof, insulated pants and jacket.

DONT FORGET THE HANDWARMERS!!!!!!! CHEAP HEAT!!!!!!!

 

I bought a Layer Bottom from ColdPruf. It seems to get stinky after a day or two at the most. My other poly (Compression Leggings from Under Armour) with silver don't smell 1/2 as bad after a week. Isn't the Layer Bottom using silver too? Anyone else using sitka vs .... noticed this?

 

Merino wool next to skin with a fleece layer over that and your set

 

I am a wool guy. I have tried or owned just about every brand out there. For long johns minus 33.

Everybody is different in what they need to stay warm. You have to figure out what is good for you.

 

I was wondering what brand of long underwear do you use to keep warm in the late season. I cant seem to find a pair that keeps me as warm as I think they should. Any sugguestions on what you guys use?

I really like the merino wool Woolpower 200 gm and 400 gm uppers and lowers. I originally bought them when MidwayUSA carried Woolpower products. They're now hard to find, but I've found them at www.canadianoutdoorequipment.com for what I think is a decent price (about $200 for a 200 gm set, delivered). For the 200 gm weight, I get the short zip top. For the 400 gm top, I get the full zip top with the thumb holes in the sleeves. For both the 200 and 400 gm bottoms, I get the fly bottoms. All have lasted for years.

I'm from the "buy it once" club, I'm willing to pay more to buy something that works for me the first time rather than buy something now and then have to buy something else later on.

With the Woolpower merino wool, it's not itchy against my skin like regular wool. All pieces wick moisture well and keep me warmer on the occasion when I know that I shouldn't but do indeed overdress when carrying equipment out to the field. I know darn well that I should carry my outer clothing in a pack instead of wearing it over my base layers and that that I should open zippers on my bibs and such, but I don't always do it right. Sometimes I'm a bit sweaty by the time I'm in my tree, and I have to unzip and let nature dry me off.

The merino wool dries well. I can stay warm, and I can stay up in my treestand to hunt. For many years prior to this, I didn't know better and I wore cotton. I would get damp and cold, and I would be miserable. Not any more. Woolpower is a little pricey, but I haven't looked back and I haven't been disappointed.

Remember that frequent washing of any clothing reduces the capability of the insulating material since it gets thinner when it's washed. I don't wash these everyday as I would regular clothing or synthetic undergarments. In fact, when I return from a hunt, I typically hang my Woolpower stuff out on a clothesline. Hanging instead of washing helps retain insulating capability, and the deer are none the wiser as they do not notice any scent when I return to the hunt, and one typically can't find any nasty smell. I suggest hanging Woolpower pieces to air dry and not washing them too often.

This is just what I've gotten comfortable with and what I've found to work after trying different undergarments over the last 40 years. I've tried many different options, but this is the one that works for me and helps to keep me in the woods longer. Good luck to whatever you come up with! Find something that works, and stick with it.

 

I've had good luck with icebreaker merino tops for a couple years now. Had minus 33 before icebreaker and wore so many holes in them in a years use I won't go back to them. Anyone try micro grid fleece as a baselayer?

I can wear merino socks and pants, but not on my back, shoulders, and neck, slight itchy feeling to me. I guess I am sensitive..:embara:.

I wear cabelas silk weight polartec base on my top, or some other very thin poly. Then I layer on heavyweight polartec (grid fleece), cabelas standhunter, and windshear.

 

This one is warm. Got to wait until post season to get the deals though.

I have this set. Very warm. I use merino wool layer underneath.

Firstlite for me, got a set last year and so far so good.

 

Goose down long underwear I bought from Cabela's. If it gets brutally cold, I'll throw on the black fleece long underwear as well. I believe Cabela's discontinued the goose down long underwear but these guys make good gear. https://goosefeetgear.com/products/down-pants/

 

Nylon against skin can feel clammy and sweaty so I'd recommend wearing a baselayer of merino or silk or capiline. I would think the down would compress when sitting also so it might have cold spots. I like fleece on my legs as a midlayer.
