Have the jacket, vest, henley, hoodie, beanie, baclava and pants. Wish they made bibs. Great stuff and can't beat the price if you wait for a good sale. Hunted Misourri at -15 below last January without a problem. Might seem a little loud at first but a couple of trips through the washer quiets it down.

I have vest, hoodie jacket, and pants. Pants seem to run a bit long. They are very warm, cuts the wind,,very quiet. Shed the rain quite a bit as well. Only problem is that if your walkn about, hitch hikers are often catchn free rides. Took me 2 hrs to get them stickers off of me pants  :(

The pants are tough, warm and quiet, they shed rain pretty well. They do pick up tons of burrs and seeds, I dont even bother taking the burrs and seeds off anymore, most fall off when washing, the rest are just extra camo.

Thanks! I just ordered one for that price too! Been wanting one for a while, but could not pull the trigger at full price.

I should say the pants are so warm I do not use long-johns.

I just checked and does not look like the sale is still on.  I am in the need of a new pair of pants.

I ordered a set, and liked it but it was too warm for still hunting, better on a stand. It was a bit heavy (thick), quiet, wind and water repellant. I sent it back. It would be great in MI in sub-freezing weather, (30F down to 0 deg).  It might pick up lots of stickers, needles etc.

They don't have the pants on sale. Just the jacket, and only in one pattern. You have to look in the bargain cave under men's hunting clothes to find it. I just looked, and it is still there for $64.

Good Stuff for slow still hunting or stand sitting when the mercury drops.

Got mine on sale, pants and jacket.

Good camo pattern too.

Good wind blocking and warmth. I have found that when it gets really cold that barrier inside it that makes it a wind blocker makes too much noise, like a plastic rattle kind of noise.

Very good stuff. I have the jacket and pants. Love the zip up pant legs all the way up past the knees.

Couldn't help myself for that price, pulled the trigger on the jacket.

I went to my local Cabelas here in Wichita, Ks to pick up my wooltimate jacket that I got on sale.  I figured I should try it on before I left the store and I am glad I did.  I am 6'2" and 214 pounds I had read that this jacket could be a little short....well this is the most odd tailored garment I have ever tried on.  I ordered an XL because the chest measurement was right for me and I was hoping it would give me a little more length down my waist, I was wrong. It looked like I had on a wool belly shirt that I could put shoulder pads on underneath! Well it didn't work for me which is a bummer. I really liked the material and the pattern. Guess I will have to stick with Asbell wool to get my fit.  Gabe

I agree when really cold, a bit of wind helps to hide this noise. If dead calm, drawing a bow at close range can be risky. But overall I love it.

For the one's wondering about bibs, the "Stand Hunter Extreme" bibs are the same wooltimate cloth..they are insulated.
