Has anyone tried this stuff? I just ordered some and it was on sale.
I've got some & love it..You won't be disappointed. :readit:
I have the vest and love it pockets in the vest big .
Got the pants and pullover very nice quality, structure, and works very well worth double the price in my opinion.
I really like mine,will buy it again when or if I wear it out.

I love mine. Have the pants, pull over, and beenie. quiet and warm.
I've got the gloves, very warm & comfy!
Yep, i have the pants, jacket, pullover, hat and gloves. Love the stuff. For me the pants are one of the most comfortable ones i own.
Many items are on sale right now.
I have the pants and two vests and I love em
Bengal,
How do vests run for size? Do did you order your normal size, or do they run a little big like I've heard? Thanks!!
Just ordered the jacket...79.95!!!!!!
I have the vest,pants and pullover and I used them this fall.It is good stuff,quiet and warm.I ordered my normal sizes and had no problem with the fit.
two thumbs up!!
Windshear is excellent, but slightly noisy, still will worth it.
I got the jacket, pants, vest and stocking cap.
The jacket and vest are slightly larger. I am in between Lg and XL and the Lg fit perfectly. The pants are on the small side. I normally wear 34 pants and these were too small and the legs were tight. I went with 38's for leg room and used the draw straps to fit. I am 6' 1" and the inseam was OK. I wear a 7 hat and the stocking cap fit snugly. I like my outfit. Hope this helps.
It works well but windshear feels and sounds like you have a plastic garbage bag inside your sweater.
I have the pants and pullover top with hood, very warm and quiet. I have yet to feel the wind make it thru.
I'm switching over completely to Cabela's outfitter stuff, particularly the Microtex stuff. I like it better than Sitka and the choices (and prices) are way better.
ive been using the pullover the past few wks.
i was wearing a thermal and a sweat shirt under the pullover and staying very warm down to about 25 degrees, i think it works great. i like the fit of the pullover , its not big and bulky,got it bloody and it washed rite out..well worth the sale price.. my 0.2 cents
Its very warm, great weight, and love the fact that I can wash it in a machine. 4.75 stars out of 5 The only negative is with all windshear Ive owned is on cold days it sounds like the wrinkling of candy wrappers which is good when hunting chubby people but not so good for deer.
I have the jacket, pants and the vest and like it very well. The vest was the best investment, but the pants and jacket are good to. You cant' go wrong, money well spent! Jason
I got the pants and jacket for Christmas. Great price and they work really well. Noticed the camo for them isn't exactly the same but close enough.
I've been using mine for the 2nd season now and just love it! Got it on sale as well, great price, great camo pattern .....just and all out good product!
Great stuff, warm and fairly durable, only negative I have is the pattern is light and has gotten me busted in the treestand. My hunch is that it isn't very good once the leaves are down. I've had mine about 5 years and they are still going strong. Nice garments I am a very satisfied owner.

this is what has prevented me from trying this stuff......can't stand noisy in hunting gear...
Great stuff all around...
I have used the jacket for 2 seasons now. I think it is great. I just got the pants this year and I like them even better. I really don't think they are as noisy as alot of people let on. The windshear lining makes a little noise fresh out of the bag but after being washed and worn a few times I really don't notice any noise. Besides if it is windy deer won't hear it any way, right?
Agree with ALwoodsman. I have the pants and while the liner started out a little noisy, the more I wore them, they quieted down. I think they are great and wore them almost exclusively this season.
Not trying to start an argument but, typically outline/silhoutette or no backdrop, or movement is what busts us in a tree not the camo pattern. Have had dozens of deer give me the staredown in this camo, along with colored plaid with no ill effects.
If you think that they are too light, which I intially did try a low concentration walnut dye bath. The wool should absorb it well and darken them up a little. Am ordering the jacket now and would highly recommend this line for the money
I can honestly say, I havent' had any problem with mine being noisy. I also had deer look straight through me setting on the ground with this stuff on. I think it's a good camo pattern! I think it's all in the movement and you need a good backdrop. JMHO! Jason
great product, I have a set in dessert outfitter pattern and think it is as good, if not better than my Predator camo here in the Eastern hardwoods.
There was a thread on this stuff a few weeks ago if you want a little more reading. I got the vest last year before hunting season and absolutely love it. I got the pants this year for Christmas and they are great as well. I am big on being silent when hunting and these are quiet. i am a very big fan of the stuff.
i busted a deer this year with the cabelas upland sweater with windshear but the fault was the cloth patches on the shoulder making noise against my harness straps. No big deal but I don't like the noise of windshear, I find it personally annoying to wear. It absolutely does it's job though. It is amazing how it blocks wind from cutting thru to you. I purchased Columbia's Gallatin wool pants this year and am very happy with them. Quiet, warm, comfortable and relatively cheap. Enthusiastic about them and I am, like most of us, very critical of my gear. Luke's Dad
Good stuff and worth every penny.
I got cabelas berber fleeze jacket and love it. Quiet, warm, light, has wind sheer but does not make the noise of other wind seer lingings i looked at. a wool sweater under the jacket and no more cold.
Thought I would bring this up since cabelas has it on sale, especially the vest, which is probably my favorite piece of hunting clothing.
I have the Legacy Fleece with windshear and it is dead quiet. Windshear is a fabric and I washed mine 3 times before I wore it so that might have helped. The jacket with ECWCS longjohns and a shirt has kept me warm in the coldest of Alabama weather. Can't ask for much more.
Have the berber fleece jacket w/ windshear and like Donald, I don't have any noise issues. On really cold days, base layer+fleece shirt+this=warm
Works great but it is noisy ... could not wear it in a tree stand on a still day that's for sure. Also there is a big difference between the Berber and the Wooltimate ... My Berber is very quiet, it is lined but no wind shear and it is warm. The finish on Wooltimate that I have is much more shear than the Berber.

I have to disagree. Not sure what wooltimate you have but mine is extremely quiet, whether its calm out or not. I wear the pants and vest bowhunting when it's cold and have no issues with noise. I don't know if yer talking about noise from the wooltimate itself or from the windsheer lining but neither of mine is noisy at all. I did have a wool coat from cabelas with the windsheer lining and the liner was noisy(squeaky). But have no such issue with wooltimate. Not trying to argue, but don't want people to be steered away from a good product. I'm sure the fleece is great stuff and is quiet, but a few people I have talked to , said in the cold temps with wind , the fleece isn't as warm as wooltimate.
i have the wooltimate vest and it is good stuff. its warm and very quiet. i have other cloths with windstoper that made noise but this vest is not one of them.
I think this is my third season wearing mine, pants, jacket, vest, pullover. all work great and keep me warm . good stuff when you gotta hunt in the cold and wind.( never noticed any noise with any of mine..)
In terms of noise I have an outfitters berber fleece jacket with the wind shear and it definitely rustles when I move in it. So much so that I rarely wear it.
A friend has the wooltimate with the wind liner and his is much quieter. I was very impressed with his in terms of noise compared to my berber jacket.
I have a sweater that is noisy, bur I have a pullover and parka that don't make a sound. I used my parka in AK at -20 and it was AWESOME.
I really like mine, pulling the burrs out of them takes a little doin but it gives me something to do sitting around the camp fire at night.
I am getting a pair of pants to go with the jacket. From what I'm reading they size a little small and I should go up. Any opinions?
I think sizing is accurate, they just don't stretch any because of the windshear material.
I was referring mainly to the windshear lining itself not the outer jacket material.
I have no problem with noise I have the jacket and pants. I've been wearing mine in PA and its been pretty cold lately and I have been very pleased. I just need to get some wool long johns and I should be fine my under armour cold gear doesn't cut it in this weather.
I own the pullover and the jacket and absolutely swear by both. They do weight a little bit but when on backpacking hunts I still pack one of them so when I get up to a windy cold ridge to sit I can put it on. In my opinion the pullover is a lot warmer than the jacket but my jacket is big enough I can wear multiple layers underneath and it has plenty of pockets. If I could only have one it would be the pullover which is my go to gear.

You just helped make up my mind. I have the pants and vest and have been eyeballing that pullover for a while now. I'm gonna pull the trigger. Darn it , I see they raised the on sale price 20 dollars on all of it .

I would say they size pretty accurate.
I always take the vest with me.
I just picked up the pants, pullover, and beanie a week or so ago. I've only worn them in the field once and so far I love them! I was wearing the pullover with just a T-shirt underneath the other day. Temperature was about 40 with 15mph winds and I was comfortable on my 3 hour sit. Sizing is accurate.
Good afternoon,
I have the set and the windproof liner is quiet on mine. Have a size large pullover and a medium vest, the vest fits better on top of the pullover. The vest is to big to wear by itself. I'm 5' 10" tall and weigh 165.
Hope that helps!
Great stuff!
Have the pants, pullover, hat, gloves and just got another pants and pullover for Christmas. Got them for 1/3 the price before christmas with free shipping. Worn it for years and great camo pattern.
I've had mine for 3 years. As someone said. It is heavy compared to just wool. But mine is dead quiet. I'm not sure what some are saying. . I'm a sticker for quiet great also. my predator fleece is the quietest I own but the wooltimate is nearly on par with it. Great stuff and gray price esp when on sale. . I have jacket pants and beanie. . ialso agree the jacket runs big. For layering it is good. buy without reservations.
It does pick up tons of burrs though.
Great feature that you can wash it at home also
