Title: Woolrich CAMWOOLFLAGE
Post by: snoopdawg on September 05, 2007, 11:03:00 AM
Does anybody have any experience with this camo wool. I am surprised that it has never caught on with the traditional crowd.

I don't like it. The weave is not tight enough for my liking.

Thanks Jerry, I'm just trying to find an alternative to the super expensive King of the Mountain and Columbia GALATIN which seems too heavy and "felt like".

It works pretty good for me.  Not the best, I'm sure but stays clean and wear's well.  Can often get good deals at Sierra Outdoors.

I normally don't like to badmouth products, but that stuff is junk.  Save yourself some money and just get the good stuff the first time around.  Look at Hidden Wolf woolens.  King of the Mountain is pretty good stuff, but Hidden Wolf is even better.

Depends what you want...they are fine for early/mid season. Easy to walk in and comfy. You can hold them up an see light through them like a burlap bag. I just about froze to death a few times when it got cold.
Here in the PA mountains you can't wear warm clothes on your way in to hunt, you are going to sweat.  I don't think anything woolrich is US made anymore. My wife got the pants for me a few years ago. She also just got me a heavier pair of their pants for cold weather. The price is good but they do not compare to the high quality tight weave stuff.  Someday when I get the money, I'll get the good stuff.

When you go to the woolrich store in Woolrich PA these days pretty much all you see "eco-owl hugger, tofu, metro sexual" type clothing made in some country we probably can't hunt in.

Back in the day you find find top qualtiy wool hunting clothes in the "seconds" bin for just a few bucks. I remember my favorite hunting jacket (red/black plad), I wore it for two years until someone mentioned that one of the sleaves was much longer than the other. Good stuff back then.

I have a pair of woolrich camo pants that I bought 5 years ago. I would wear them before my columbias.
