[QUOTE="dmj, post: 1544885, member: 73479"] Remember that part of the equation of the type of equipment you purchase will depend upon how you hunt. Do you climb, cover the ground, keep on the move stopping every once in a while to glass (this is how I mostly hunt). Or do you go to a stand and sit? Anyway for me. I wear Merino wool long johns top and bottom under the merino wool top I will wear a light comfortable long sleeve shirt, I like the Sitka mountain or timberline pants with gaiters, then I layer up with a couple of heavier Merino wool tops. For my feet, darn tough socks with water proof leather boots ( kenetrek, crispi, schennee). Some kind of hat that will shed some moisture. In my pack there is always and I mean always. They are never removed. A down puffy, a quality uninsulated water proof coat, some kind of beanie, and some kind of gaiters for my neck. For me this works as it allows me to remove items depending on temp and how hard I am working and the items are fairly easy to pack. Then when I sit down to glass I have items to pull on while sitting. The water proof jacket works against both moisture and wind. Good luck, have fun and be safe. [/QUOTE]
