Has anyone tried Cabela's Dry Plus at cold temperatures? Does the laminate become noisy? I really like their Microtex uninsulated clothes with a wool insulating layer underneath and would like something a little more wind proof when the weather gets below freezing. Thanks for the help.
I have used Cabela's Dry Plus for 7 years now. I have been in about every bad weather situation you could imagine with it on and it has NEVER failed me and, it is super quiet. I never wear it unless the temps are below freezing. Best investment in hunting cloths I've ever made. It is everything it is advertised to be.

I feel the same way
Although we seldom get cold weather here I think Dry Plus is excellent and very consistent in all weather conditions that I encounter. Probably better than the higher priced GT.
It's good stuff, but I have to disagree with some of the other posters on this stuff. I find it to be LOUD when temps are below freezing. Even with my Columbia wool jacket over top of the Dry Plus it still rustles too much for my liking. I now use it strictly for warmer weather, or gun hunts when silence isn't nearly as much an issue. It does do everything else they claim about it though.

I am curious........
Not that I doubt what you are saying. I am wondering if there is a diffrence with camo choice??
What outfit do you have. I have the insulated full zipper jacket along with the insulated pants in Outfitter camo and have hunted in near zero weather and mine is dead silent and maintains a soft flexible feel.
I also just bought the "Stand Hunter" outfit from Cabelas and although it is not waterproof I really don't think you could ever get cold in this stuff. And it is a portion of wool and dead silent also. It is way more expensive than the Dry Plus stuff though.

I have never found mine to be noisy either.
