Tim... I used these Woolrich bibs for years. Very, very warm and were reasonably priced at the time.
I recall one morning heading into a deer stand on a new farm. There was enough moonlight to navigate by so I left my flashlight in my pocket. About halfway in I went through some brush and noticed afterwards that my legs were rubbing together as I walked. I stopped and took out my light to find that the brush I'd walked through was cockleburrs and my bibs were loaded. I bet they were 3 inches thick. Gave me something to do on stand. :laughing:

I like the lined silent predator wool for moving/stalking. For sitting I use First Lite sanctuary bibs/parka. Both are quiet, but the sanctuary gear is nor designed for walking through blackberry bushes or autum olive trees with spikes.

Depends on what you are doing and what you call cold. It was -22 this am. Instead of going out for rabbit I opted for some coffee instead :goldtooth:

I agree!! I am also from MI, but not the great UP!! I have hunted in some COLD temps below zero and feel that your clothing has to have some type of wind barrier in it to really be effective. The Asbell bibs are nice, but lack the wind barrier liner to really be considered a true COLD weather bib, in my opinion. The trick (or course) is to find something with the wind barrier and also QUIET when it is truly COLD outside.

I have hunted Isabella county every year down there since college. I agree 100% about the wind. From hunting to fishing all my stuff needs a wind blocker. Although, this morning the camp walls were the best wind blocker money could buy! I was strolling around in a tee shirt!

I am a huge advocate of wool, as I've been In the wool industry for years in a different faction, but none the less....
In the 35 years Of being in-the-wool Industry um have word that manhas attempted for years to duplicate wool but can't. Why? Because God-made wool And man cannot Compete with Him. And it's QUIET.
I can't tell you how many times we've come in behind so called latest and greatest man made yada and replace it with wool. We could always backup our claims of performance and durability.......always.
No other fiber is going to keep you warmer if wet...
Sorry don't talk to me about it talk to God :saywhat:
After years of use my wool, not just my bibbs but other items as well, I'll pass them down to at least one generation. I can't say that about my man made fiber items....like my 3rd generation wool rugs.
And its amazing how wool sheds dirt n mud...it just 'walks off'.
I bought Hidden Wolf before it became Grey Wolf back in 2000....and my pants n pull over still look brand new.
And buyer beware, don't get next to the campfire with the other fiber stuff.
