I was wondering what the latest preference is for apparel with regards to cold-weather hunting. When I started out hunting back in the late 1980s, I picked up a book by J.Wayne Fears titled ‘hunting Whitetail successfully.
This book educated me 100% on everything from field to table! Totally Educated me on preparing for a hunt.. how to hunt and how to serve tasty venison.
Importantly, it educated me on choosing the right apparel to stay warm on those cold snowy days.
This book which is from the mid-1980s, recommends as the first layer of under clothing to be polypropylene. The polypropylene lets the moisture from your body pass through so you stay dry without a chill. The second layer of clothing recommend is wool (socks,pants,shirt,gloves and hat. Wool is a great insulator and dries out quickly because it breathes.
I have to say that this old-school style of clothing which can be purchased somewhat on the cheap and rather easily through a military surplus store, has served me very well! Please note that this same style of wool clothing purchased through Eddie Bauer and other high-end retailers, is very expensive.
I’ve noticed watching recent YouTube videos, that most people seem to use very fluffy Padded overalls that don’t seem to be to agile or nimble to move around in.
Let’s hear your preference for staying warm —
