I have a pair of these.  Mine are a different brand name.  I have had people make fun of them, and then take offense when I am not really sympathetic to their feet freezing when they are sitting in a stand.

And a muff that you wear around your neck instead of gloves or mittens.

Here is what I would suggest using.  It is called The Heater Body Suit.  Does anyone have any experience with it?

Suck it up buttercup! Lol. This cold is our best chance tomorrow! Lots of hand warmers anywhere you can stuff them. Daytime deer activity has gone through the roof since the real cold finally showed up.

The best part of the final day is you know you are letting one fly no matter what...I pitty the slick head that's in the feed at 4:15 if my target buck doesn't show up.

Good luck!

I have owned one for about 5 years and finally used it this year. Worked really well, but only hunted down to about 28 degrees back in November. The only issue is that I can't put it on in a climber, not enough room. Used it in a ground blind. Next year I'll be hunting out of hang-ons and it will get used. Confident with proper attire underneath, all day sits are going to be a lot more comfortable.
Albacore, the better white meat.

Have a friend whose wife watched television and decided that they were going to be a hunting team like the husband & wife she saw on television.  She has never hunted a day in her life and doesn't know crap, but within three weeks she was an expert.  Had gone out and purchased about $2K in woman specific hunting apparel.  She has prided herself on having starved herself until she looks like she was just liberated by the allies from  Bergen-Belsen and proceeded to take all of the clothing to a tailor and by the time they were done with it it fit her like a latex glove... and she spent about 15 minutes in a deer stand, in October, in 40 degree weather before she decided she couldn't take the cold any longer. 

I use loose fitting blaze orange Cabela's insulated overalls if it is really cold or a Filson overall if it is not really cold, just wet and a loose fitting blaze orange Cabela's parka and had to have it zipped down to the bottom of my ribs to vent off excess heat.  I find loose fitting to be the biggest thing when it comes to keeping warm.

I am very disappointed in this thread.  The OP is always very entertaining, but this time there is nothing to decipher.  Cryder, you need to get back on your game.

And hurry up and fill that deer tag, today is your last day, and I don't care if it is cold outside, we are not in Alberta.

I hope he doesn't go all popsicle. Hopefully he is hunting in a tree by an open field in case we need to send the choppa in to get him out they will need a place to land.  It's yote season and guys with missle silos will be all over the place in no time.
