[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 830128, member: 52437"] I know this is the shooting thread area but I kind of need an answer quick and most posts come up in here. I was wondering what your opinions are for size of cold weather camo. What I mean by this....Right now I have a pair of hunting coveralls, cheaper ones that are size large. They worked ok...but I had to wear like 5 top layers(under armour base long shirt, quality mid layer I forget the brand, under armour fleese, sweatshirt and finally the cover-alls) and 3 bottom layers (pair of long johns and a pair of quality Ski mid-layers and then the cover-alls) in order to stay warm for anything below freezing or say 30 degrees fahrenheit and less.
