I don't mind spending a little bit if worth it but not looking to go out of my way to break the bank. I'm really looking something thats warm as shite without the bulk. Its getting aggregating as hell with the bulky jackets and shite w/ the hunting bag and gear and all. I somewhat like some of the under armour gear but not sure which setup offers best warmth. Open to any ideas. Might need to get a new base layer as well. Anyone like UA's 4.0?

I just bought this and wore it for the first time this weekend. Excellent!

I wore my UA Cold Gear leggings, 1 normal camo pants, and these bibs for my lower body. Upper body was UA Cold Gear, long sleeve shirt, hoodie, thick camo jacket.


I was very comfortable in low 30s with a north wind hitting me directly.

Get yourself a sitka base layer, they are high as shite, but certainly work well.

How cold are you going to be? I have the 3.0 under armour and stayed plenty warm, even sitting still in single digit temps. You'll also want to have several layers of clothing on top of your base layer.

Agree with ole yeller on the merino.
First Lite is probably top of the line.
Look at blackovis.com.
They sell numerous brands with pretty good prices.
Easy comparison between manufacturers.

I too am looking to reduce the bulky clothing. I bought the UA cold gear evo infrared top and leggings. Has anyone used this before? Should I return them and get the 3.0 or 4.0?
I also bought the infrared jacket LINK
I'm not sure what I want to do for legs yet
- where do y'all buy the 3.0 and similar base layers?

The 3.0 is more than enough for Mississippi, I used it in Pennsylvania. Put some adequate layers over top and you should be good to go.

I have not found anything that offers more warmth with less bulk than polartec fleece...

what I use is Redhead E.C.W.S military grade thermal underwear...costs about $20 for top and the same for the bottoms and when I cover it with my normal hunting clothes and a windproof shell, I can handle 25 degrees and wind on a deer stand with no problem....throw on a quad parka and a set of neoprene waders and I can stand in ice water up to my waist for hours without an issue...and the best part is, you can also wear it under decent clothes to football games, etc and stay toasty warm too...

as for hands and feet, I use the disposable hand/foot warmers (hot hands) in gloves and boots and they work well...but you have to get the right ones or they will make you sweat...
