Staying warm in late season. Insulated suit?
« on: December 03, 2014, 01:25:15 PM »
So Iv been looking to improve my system in order to sit longer.  I dont want to buy more camo and would prefer to stick with my layers and a camo shell.  Iv been looking into coveralls or some sort of insulated suit.  At an old job I had I worked in a freezer and I see you can buy the suits that I used to wear.  Just worried about the noise of it rubbing.  Turned off by carhart/walls/etc due to weight and stiffness.  Really looking for a basic quilted suit, or something along that lines.  Anyone have any suggestions along those lines or any other tips and tricks for staying warm?

I find the best way to stay warm is to add layers after I get where I'm going and going to be sitting. getting dressed befor I get to warm accessing my stand and get cold much faster.

In really cold weather(sub zero) I wear wicking long under wear including a T-shirt, a fishermans knit sweater(high collar), polar fleece vest, and wool bibs.  I have a fanny pack, that carries my essentials including chemical hand warmers.  To the pack I strap a down jacket and a pair of breathable, wind/waterproof over pants(light weight full length side zipper nylon) and a pair of insulated over boots(if I'm using the same stand I just hang the over boots there and not pack them around).

When I arrive I put on the wind pants and jacket, put a couple hand warmers in the overboots get comfortable and good insulated hat is a must.

This is the down jacket I use.

Wool bibs should work fine with layers under them, I have used them sitting before on the wet side in snow on cold clear days and have been just fine.
