Wanted to see what everyone prefers for there cold weather clothes. I like wool but there are some heavy fleece garments out there. What do ya'll think?
-
honestly I love wool......but I layer with fleece. in order: marino wool undergarments, fleece 1/4 zip, woolrich jacket (soon to be asbell zip-up. ordered!)
-
Fleece and polyester convert as of this past season. Getting too old to drag wet wool around on my back and legs1
-
I don't own any fleece that is used for hunting.
-
I use both, merino wool base layer, wool sweater, fleece vest then the top layer depending on the temps.
-
I have and use both depending on WIND.... Less than 10MPH wind and not bitter cold <20 degrees then all wool. If windy and or bitter cold then I top layer with my windprooof fleece over my wool layers.
If I had the $$$ I would buy some Gray Wolf Woolens top layers with wind liners. I do have a GWW vest that is insulated and lined and I LOVE it. However, sometimes my arms get a little cold cause I do not have a thin windproof mid layer to wear under it yet..... That will be my next purchase along with some wool windproof pants. JMHO gents...... :coffee:
-
Same as others: I use both. Love wool, but newer fleece is lightweight and very warm with my silk under garments.
-
Gotta add some down! Wool, with wind block of some sort, more wool, and down! Toasty
-
Not that cold down here in Texas, mostly, my Asbell pullover does the job.Under Armour and my King's Camo and my Asbell...that's my layering system.
-
I prefer the sillence of fleece, but the warmth of Merino wool insuated underwear. I have one heavy set of fleece I will not use, if there is any possibility of getting into cockle burrs! :banghead:
I might add that the heavy fleece is over 30 years old and is the original Trebark pattern.

after much experimentation, i have settled on Merino wool underneath, and fleece on the outside.
-
My pj's are fleece my hunting cloths are wool :bigsmyl:
-
Both have their place but wool is number one in my book!! :thumbsup:
-
I like my wool. I have a few fleece pieces but they're mostly lighter pull-over's to go under the wool

Something else that has not come up here fellas..... If ever in a fire you would definitely want to be wearing wool and not fleece. Firemen call fleece, "shrink wrap ".
