Ok. So I went out today with my gray wolf woolies. My primary layer was woolies from ulfrotte 400. Then the gray wolf predator fall. I figured that would be enough. Wrong. I froze my butt off. Was windy @10mph. Tree stand. Had a knit cap and fleece thing around the neck. Any help would be greatly appreciated
more thin wool layers.
Put a thin and quiet windblock layer near/under the outer layer.
..asbell makes a nice wind block.
wear a better hat....don't know exactly what you wore..but better is..well..BETTER..lol
A wind blocker layer is the key.
Yep. Need a wind blocker layer. No wool blocks the wind in and of itself.
Gray wolf lined with lite loft and wind stopper kept me toasty warm to minus 40 degrees without a problem.
Wool without a liner is worthless in my opinion.
Many thanks. I called gray wolf and they said they could see a liner in. She has done it before. I'm either going that route or looking at asbell. Many thanks to those that responded.
I layer a golfing pull over windbreaker under my Gray Wolf wool jacket. That has definitely improved my layering system as to being warm.
Hope that helps.

I have an unlined jacket in fall brown wool. It's my main jacket through October here in northern wisconsin. I wear a merino long sleeved undershirt, a wool vest and a light fleece jacket under the gray wolf. This gets me down to 20 degrees or so.
For November sits I wear gray wolfs wolf skin with the same layers but the wolfskin is lined with wind block liner.
The wool does a decent job of blocking the wind but as stated you need something more when it's really blowing. The key piece for me is the wool vest as it really keeps the core warm.
I had their wool jacket with the windblock lining but didn't care for it as I wanted a "lighter" coat. The wolfskin with wind block lets no wind through without being bulky.
Whatever you do have Laurie sew three cinch straps on the bow arm. You'll thank me later. ;)
