I have a set of pants and parka. Three years old, washed several times and are holding up really well. This is heavy stuff it keeps me warm at -20 on the stand. I would buy more of it if I ever have to replace the existing set. I bought it at Cabelas was about $450.00 - $500.00 for the set.

I only have a vest.  My brother has a vest and parka and likes it a lot.  I mostly have KOM and Autumnwood, which is very good stuff, but priced quite a bit higher than Weatherby.  If I had it to do over again, I'd probably get the Weatherby stuff.

I have a couple pair of the pants...very warm and a good buy.  Unfortunately, they quit making it.  You can still pick some up once in a while in the classifieds or on ****.

Mark,
   I have a pair of the pants that I have used for a couple of years seem to wear well and are warm.

Buy it if you can find it. I've got the jacket, vest and pants, and love it when the temps drop here in Wisc. Put a windblocker sweater under the jacket in bad weather and you're all set! For stand hunting, I tend to carry it in a backpack till I get to my destination. It's got a soft, quiet lining beneath the wool fabric, so it's not just a wool shell. Very nice stuff.
