[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1439031, member: 14204"] I am probably the wrong person to be giving advice on warm clothing for a MT hunt because I earned the nickname "Eskimo Ed" from my hunting buddies, L:cool:L. Montana weather (cold wind and snow) can be unpredictable and brutal. My advice is layering of breathable clothing (wind resistant and waterproof). Keep your toes, hands, and head warm and dry and you'll be more comfortable. You do not want to sweat when it is cold. When you're on the move walking/on a hike to your hunting spot, wear the lightest clothing set-up and layer up as required when you get to your spot. Pay attention to what your body is telling you as you layer up/down - peel before you sweat and put on before you get too cold. Wool is hard to beat, they retain heat even when wet. Heating packs are handy. Proper food (PBJ is my go to snack) and and keeping hydrated will keep you warm. Physical conditioning is often overlooked but extremely important in my opinion. You are correct, the sitting/glassing part is going be the most challenging, I think what you have might be OK. Good luck and happy safe hunting. Ed [/QUOTE]
