Do any of you guys have Basspro's 1856 Fleece wind proof camo and if so how do you like it?

I have a nice BP sz Med. Fleece jacket that I would sell you. I thought it was good stuff, Warm, durable and best of all quiet. Not bad as the price goes either. I got some king of the mountain wool that I will try this year but I am not sure how I will like the fragility and washing requirements of wool. It is a bit quieter though. The wool is warmer in low wind but not as warm in the wind as the fleece.

Have you looked at the lined Predator fleece?

Not sure on the BP pricing....but the Predator stuff looks pretty good for $89/per.  $59 for the vest.

Just a thought.

Don't waste your time.  I have a 36" waist these days, and I tried on the large pants, and they were like skateboarders skinny jeans, I may have needed a XXL!  Also, the fleece is very cheaply made.  Real thin and stretchy.  I love the pattern and they look good until you put your hands on them.

I was going to buy some myself but checked it out in person, very low quality, I would buy something of better quality.

Not to knock BP but I would look at Cabelas Outfitters fleece with windshear. I bought one of their jackets last year and love it. The windshear is worth the extra money. The jacket was around 100- 140 dollars depending on size.
