After the sweats, just about any outer layer will work depending on the weather.
I like cotton when it won't be wet, and the WallyWorlds have a bunch of it for dirt cheap around here after the season ends and that's the time to buy it.
Simple camo, (not really necessary but I like it), pants and shirt and or jacket.
Of course cotton camo fades badly when washing so it's good to buy it cheap and toss it when it fades enough to stick out in the woods.
It is wise to invest in good rain gear, both cold and warm weather, but that doesn't mean that you have to pay high dollar for it.
This past Christmas I outfitted both of my sons with good quality Gore-Tex type material lined warm and cold weather rain gear for about $200 per son.
The warm weather gear I got them includes light weight bibs and a hooded long tail jacket.
The cold weather includes insulated bibs and 4 in 1 parkas.
All of it made by an overseas outfit called WFS (World Famous Sports) Element Gear.
Picked it up all new from mostly one seller on eBay, but there are closeout sellers other places online.
You can spend the big money if you want for the latest and greatest break-through bestest sales pitch crap, but you certainly don't have to.
There are some pretty big dollars spent each year on scent blocker type clothing, gimmicks, and gizmos, don't buy into the hype as it is 100% geared to steal your money.
Masking scents used sparingly are not a bad idea, nor are
some attractants, but don't for a second buy into the idea that you can fool the nose of a deer.
You can't... no matter how much money you spend trying to.
Do you remember those blue and red plastic balls for infants, with the yellow plastic pieces that fit only in the same shape holes in the ball?
That's a deer's nose more or less.
Human scent fits in a certain slot in their nose.
You can try to hide it, but it's always there.
Regardless of what else is going in there, they'll still know you're around.
Use too much or the wrong kind of scent and it's worse than them smelling you.
Using the wind to your advantage is the ONLY sure bet... until it shifts at the most inopportune moment... and it will.
The second pair of socks is a good idea to be able to swap them out mid-day, and a must in a pocket or pack is a stocking cap, (orange if required), when it's cold.
The last thing I would suggest is buying laundry detergent with out scent or brighteners to wash your hunting clothes in.
You don't want to 'glow' in low light while smelling like a tropical breeze.
Oh... yeah no gobbler this morning, just a nosey hen... and then the rain started.
