well chuffed, it arrived on saturday morning and couldn't be happier, a fantastic piece of kit and I can't wait to get using it, :clapper:

You will enjoy it, I wear mine often, in some pretty ugly conditions.

My friend Ronnie (Romanator) has one and its a great coat long and warm . I hope to have one made soon .

Excellent piece of clothing and you can't beat the price.

X2! I love my timber grey anorak! It's probably the best garment I have, and that grey just blends in with the north woods. And you cannot beat the price.

its December and I wore mine today in Alaska. It is a great piece of clothing and at a very reasonable price. Great people to deal with. Additionally, most of their patterns blend in beautifully with the woods/tundra/alpine cliffs.

my Pathfinder is fabulous!

I have two I love them both. No you can't have them :goldtooth:

Everyone raves about how warm these are. Out of curiosity how warm are they? All day sit in -20 with just a sweater on warm? Of course I'd be wearing pants and a smile too...

They work exactly as a single layer of wool should. I wear them for about 90% of my cold weather hunting...no, I have never done an all day sit at -20.
The two coldest things I do are sitting in a tree-stand in late season, or ice fishing. For both, I wear wool Asbell bibs, good long underwear, a wool sweater, and an Anorak. Our temps range from single digits to high teens, + wind. I can stay out all day.

Northern Michigan late season fruit farm hunting in Asbell wool. The trails really pop (see yellow circles) this time of year.

Use it as an outer layer and it works perfect!

Are all you northern guys descended from Vikings? I would be layered up a lot heavier in your climate than guys are describing here. I swap from wool to Army M65 jacket with liner. Either way, I layer fairly heavily even in our Georgia winter. In my opinion, one of the best characteristics of Theresa's stuff is that is long enough that it doesn't ride up and expose the kidney area to the cold. I have 4 pieces of her stuff and really like it, even though, we don't have enough severe cold to need it that many days in the woods. But when I need it, I have it.

Haha I was thinking the same thing. I'm from jersey and it doesn't get crazy cold but I'm still layered up a ton in the 20s ANC teens

Need to get me one of these!!! :archer: :coffee: :archer2:

in the above picture I’m wearing one long underwear top and bottom of the Ulfrotte 400 wool long underwear, smart wool lightweight long underwear top under that, Gray Wolf Woolen wool bibs (got them before Asbell started producing bibs) and then my Pathfinder. This was a 25 degree morning with just a little wind and so not difficult conditions. Wind in a tree stand in Northern Michigan December is a whole different animal. Absolutely necessary for wind block material or you will get cold. I have a lined wool vest for those days.

Cold is EASY to deal with. It's cold RAIN that sends me home...

How many times a year do you sit in -20 degree weather all day?

I’m from Iowa and evidently not a true “Viking” in the thermal management department... :dunno: I have several pieces of the Asbell Clothing and I love them. That being said I layer up pretty significantly for treestand hunting below 25 degrees, especially if there’s wind or rain... One of the absolute most useful pieces of the Asbell Line is their least fancy, it’s the tall neck fleece windblocker vest. It’s higher in the back of the neck than the front but it goes up high or can be pulled down. That thing blocks wind and protects your core like no other. I have two of them and have even wore two of them in 0 deg.Fah windy conditions for long sits. Incredible. Plus you will find many uses for it and your family outside of hunting.
It’s not outer layer pretty and some will say you need it to be on the outside for maximum protection, but I say just plain use it however you want, it works and will extend any layering system... :campfire:
