Works great and not overly expensive the only thing I can agree with here is the army BDU's, BUT only when you know it's completely dry out. I've had my BDU's ever since I was in my 20's, 20 years later they are still going strong, but not for wet weather. And if you walk in rivers west, fu-get aboot it, you will be soaked in sweat. Someday jackmaster will take his training wheels off and join us big boys in the real clothing department!!
I miss the days when you could get the nice wool pants at the Army Surplus store for $10-$15. I still have a couple of pairs of Swedish Military cargo's. Unfortunately, I need to get in the hills and lose some weight so I can wear them again.

Your not going to give me a few hundred bucks to go with that brochure? Kinda selfish ain't ya? I'm pretty sure financially we are twins!! I know, don't buy any chew for 1 month and put that towards the best pair of pants you've ever worn.
I saw a picture of Fred Bear drawing the bow on an elk while wearing a red plaid wool shirt and wool pants. It makes me laugh when I think of the dozen or so camo shirts and pants of different warmths and styles. This guy got it done wearing everyday clothing. Pretty cool.
Nothing is quieter then wool. That is my main problem with the new gear. If it is waterproof it is noisy. Wool is far from being water proof, but I can be wet and still warm. You also learn to stay dry. Light rain isn't that big a deal, hard down pours find a tree and see if it passes. I go to the store convinced I am going to purchase a new Gortex piece of gear from one of the new companies but always leave empty handed when I remember how noisy they are.
