Wool or under armour cold gear?

[Stickerbush]

I am trying to decide between some under armour cold gear bibs or wool pants for late season elk eastside, I found really good deals on both the UA bibs are 80 and the wool pants are 50. I have good boots and upper body gear, I just dont have any late season pants. I am kinda leaning towards wool just because it is a proven material, but the UA gear is pretty sweet. Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated

I personally wear wool pants with under armour under them.  For some reason i cant get away from wool even with all the great other gear out (UA, sitka, kryptek).  This may just because i am to cheap for the name brand stuff.

Good wool isn't necessarily cheap so I doubt thats it.  I am betting you just know a material that can save your life in the worst of the worst.

I have both. If I had to choose on, it would be the wool. I like the under armour  when I am sitting, but sweat like crazy when hiking in it. Can't beat GOOD wool. I've had some of the cheaper stuff and it's not worth buying.

hmm interesting, the pants I am looking at are 50 bucks I guess thats pretty cheap as far as wool goes

Wool all the way.. with polypro underneath.

any suggestions on "GOOD" wool? What about base layer? I am considering getting some wool blend long johns, never tried polypropaline

I upgraded from Patagonia base layer to Merlino this year..... Unbelievable product!  Moisture wicking is better than anything I have tried...  Costco was selling Merlino as of a few weeks ago.

Wool all way for me. In my opinion, UA is only good for fishing or stand/blind hunting.

I like that Wooltimate stuff from cabelas! Very warm and comfortable!

Wool (in my opinion)

This year I went with UnderArmor like shirt from Russel with a wool shirt over that. When I got warm, I shed the wool and felt fine with the under shirt.

Like everyone else, I too like wool.  I was cheching out the Under Armour outer wear earlier this year but ended up buying a pair of pants by Gamehide (Hyperhide H2O).  I really like them and they were a bit cheaper than the Under Armour.  As for base layers/ longjohns......Under Armour all the way, it is worth the extra coin.

I can't find anything better than wool.  Merino wool for base keeps you warm, is quiet, and doesn't stink after two days of use.   Mid layer of wool is the same.  The only reason to have something else for exterior is to keep you dry.
