Over wool? Why? Thanks
I don't prefer it over wool. Buy where a lot of fleece earlier in the year before it gets cold enough for wool.
Fleece is quite comfortable easy to wash and drys really fast. So its a great early to mid season choice. When the weather turns crappy and cold nothing beats will IMO.
I wear various types of fleece. Wool takes too long to dry in my wet hunting environment.
I do. I prefer a Merino wool base and after that haven't really found a use for wool. I find wool heavy, itchy, and slow to dry.
Over wool? No.

What he said, it's just heavy and itchy. Fleece just seems to be lower maintanance as well.
I prefer to layer my clothing. I use fleece as my outer layer. I've found it to be the quietest material available for hunting.

For an outer layer? Fleece is fantastic in nicer weather.
I prefer a high quality fleece jacket and pants with Windstopper for October through November here in Iowa.
I find that wool breathes a lot better for walking in and out and the end of the day. I seem to overheat much more with fleece.
Fleece first, then wool on top, haven't been able to beat this combo, Swanndri wool doesn't get wet !
I already have several pieces of wool so I have no need to get much fleece. However, I like it just fine. Winter is not usually cold enough here for extended times that either fabric is noticeably superior. I wear wool more out of tradition than necessity.
Prefer wool and wear it when I can. Fleece just doesn't breath very well and if you sweat you get cold.
I use fleece for outer layer when it's windy.
I used to until I started wearing merino wool this year.
on the coast wool can be too warm.
I like some of both, depending on the situation. my favorite garments are wool, but I certainly don't wear em everyday
