[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1701559, member: 95235"] Here's my head to toe cold weather hunting set up for 11 hour a day sits in WI. Balaclava- I made my own out of a long windproof thinsulate stocking cap, bc I hate having anything over my ears that hurts my hearing. I put it on, pull it down to my shoulders and mark it with a marker. Then cut it out. Its near impossible to guess how it will stretch otherwise. It's ugly but warm. Howard Leight Impact Sports- one I hunt with a brake so they are necessary, two they amplify, three they keep your ears warm, four during the mid day lulls I can listen to a football game. Slippery layers of insulation- I wear a base layer of capilene, Eddie Bower nylon/Primaloft long underwear, fleece if necessary, and a puffy nylon vest. All these are warm for their weight and do not bind. If you sit day after day in heavy clothes that you have to fight every time you move it wears you down. Think Ralphie's little brother. "I can't put my arms down" Insulated wind proof Coveralls- One piece outerwear is more efficient than a separate top and bottom. I also laugh anytime a person puts on a windproof item that isn't the outermost layer. Don't let the wind in at all. I wear a heavy glove or mit on my off hand with a hand warmer. I usually wear a fingerless glove on my trigger hand. I put a hand warmer on the back of my hand where the veins are close to the surface. Most of the time I keep that hand in my pocket or a muff that I wear around my waist. Boot Blankets- On cold days these go over pac boots on moderate days you can wear lighter boots. When I am coming and going from my stand I hood them on my pack with a carabiner. Moving with all of this on will get you sweaty not matter how cold it is. I unzip and vent out as much as possible until I am in my stand, then I zip up. Starting out damp makes a long day. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
