Build a sitka or Kuiu system.

merino wool base layer. Wool Pants.  Fleece top.   Puffy jacket when needed.    Rain Gear cover ( Kuiu Chugach).    Bulletproof.

Well, it could be +60 or -20, so that's always an issue.  What's your budget?

First Lite Chamberlin puffy jacket. Wore it last year during a two day 0* stretch in Montana during November. Warmest puffy I’ve ever had. Warmer and more comfortable than my buddy’s kuiu super down pro whatever one he had!

Layer with Merino wool!

[riflehunter]

Budget is kind of open honestly just want something good that will last

Look at Kuiu gale force

You hiking a lot or spending a considerable time not moving much? That will dictate which route you should go.

Plan on hiking to a glassing point spending time on glass then moving to a new location if need be so mostly stationary

  layers, layers, layers, best way to go.  Puffy is a must!  I bought the puffy pant from kuiu this year and used them to sleep in, amaze balls!!  And if it was real cold out, I think those pants will be great!

I picked up last year the Kuiu 210 zip off long underwear. They are perfect to keep in your pack and just throw on if you are going to sit for a while. You can just drop your pants without taking your boots off, throw them on and pull your pants back up. That along with a puffy on top kept me much more comfortable last year

One of the best designs out there for layering.  So quick and easy to get on/off.

I got the pants but weird shape - skinny legs, low waist, couldnt get them to fit.  Good in concept if they fit you.

I've got an assortment of layering options from most of the brands already mentioned. The zip-off long underwear are awesome. I would recommend getting a couple pairs, one lighter and a heavier weight. Kuiu was the original maker and now First Lite has jumped into the game. Everyones mentioned puffys and those are great. Take it a step further and get zip off puffy pants. They are awesome for when you are stationary in the extreme cold. I'll also sometimes run a thinner puffy vest underneath your puffy coat so you are basically running a puffy on top of a puffy!  Don't forget a good pair of gaiters.

I'm a KUIU guy, but I have worn the Cabela's Wooltimate in Montana with great results.

Last year in Montana the truck said 24 below and there was 3 feet of snow, and I got out.  Here is what I wore, no problems other than I had to keep gloves on, they were instantly cold if I took my gloves off for any time.

1000 gram boots.  I put a toe warmer on the top of the toe box portion, not on the sole, it will stick right to the top of the boot and you won't know its there. (never was cold in them)
Smart wool hunter weight socks
UA long john type pants
Big Bill Wool Pants, I believe they are either 22oz or 24oz, whichever is thicker.
Smart wool light weight t shirt
Smart wool light weight sweater.  (more like a light weight long sleeve t shirt that has a 1/4 zipper on the front)
Army surplus Wool shirt.  Green, button up, it's more like a shirt/jac.  Most of the time this is all that I need to wear on top.
Filson Mackinaw Cruiser.
Fleece Cabelas hunter orange vest that you can almost see through now.
Gloves are a bow hunting mitten where the top comes off and then it is fingerless.  There is also a pocket in the mitten part for a hand warmer, I put one hand warmer in the mitten part.
Part orange ball cap that says Remington and has old blood stain's all over it. 

I was in deer all day long, stayed out all daylong, was on my belly throughout the day and had a Mexican standoff with a spectacular buck that had broke off a tine, I thought about it a long time but passed.

There you go, first hand info on the coldest day i have ever been out in.
