I got one from Cabela's USA years back, warm as hell start sweating after a 20 yard walk, meant to put on in the stand, reserved for the coldest days. Seems like they aren't sold anymore.

Fleece is nice and quiet, warm unless it gets wet or windy. Something to think about.

Fleece picks up burrs .... Fleece as a middle layer

need outer layer wind restant / and will not hold burrs

Any idea at top layer im new in hunting stuff always hunt whit walmart stock its ok but in rifle saison its not as warm like i whant

I like waterproof gear over fleece layers...always dry and add/remove layers according to temperature

I usually layer. Fleece then softshell to cut the wind. If I'm going to sit, I bring my sherpa fleece and I put it on once I'm sitting.

Layering is key

My setup is usually the following for stand hunting

In order
1 Base layer merino wool longsleeve top and bottoms
2 Cabelas thermal base layer top
3 regular crew socks overtop pant legs
4 Canadian forces fleece top and bottoms
5 Alpaca socks or thermal socks from marks (probably get them al walmart too, they are thick and fuzzy) goes over the fleece pant legs
6 (if needed on really cold -10, -20 sits) primaloft vest
7 final outer layer, yukon gear parka and bibs, if really cold then cabelas whitetail stand hunter extreme coveralls
8 muck boots with legs tucked in, or white mickey mouse arctic boots
9 blaze toque and vest, if really cold, balaclava or face mask
10 thin gloves to go in the flip style gloves that accept hand warmers


Nothing all that expensive. Hand warmers are great, use a pack in the morning in your gloves and even a second pack in pockets to help keep you warm.

I really should do up a post, I have probably 3 different sets of outer wear which are all weather dependent, I agree layer is key.

I like the EX Canadian forces Gortex jacket or Gortex parka over fleece. depending how cold it is . I wear Polypropylene under wear or wool . I hate cotton long johns .

I really like my Yukon gear bibs, but anymore i shy away from the jacket. I can only use it in bow season here bc it is camo, and I find it gets too loud as soon as the temp drops to where I would be wearing it.
