suggestions for good hunting coat/pants
eorr:
If price isn't an issue, then go for King of the Mountain. They're high but worth it. I got a Bowman jacket a couple of years ago in a trade. It's cut big and loose for drawing a bow and is made super quiet, warm and windproof wool. It's fairly heavyweight but they also have lighter stuff. A friend of mine swears by KOM Hillbilly bibs, too. He says he can sit in the snow for hours without feeling a thing.
PeteC:
I like wool long handles,then layers,and a good goosedown vest,(the most important element).The vest helps reduce bulk on the arms for cleaner shooting. JMHO God Bless
PEARL DRUMS:
The Gallatin series from Columbia has served me well for years. I hunt ALOT and Im not nice to my clothes.
Kpete:
I am like J Creason. I shop garage sales and thrift stores. I have woolrich pants from there-$6. Wool shirts over silk long underwear. Need more warmth-another shirt a size larger and/or a vest. I did score a Gallitin top and pants for 5 bucks apiece at a garage sale. Lots of wear left in them. Wool slacks with silk unders work for any hunting where I walk. Heavy wools are only for stand hunting.
