The last couple weeks I've had a chance to field test my new cold fighter combo...the New sleeveless  Treker heavy wool pullover with attached hood and roomy pockets. Worn over the Wool  Longhunter shirt has made for very comfortable hunting in some pretty windy and brisk December weather. It's not only warm but light weight and the sleeveless top allows good arm movement when drawing your bow.    

 

Nice!

Very nice indeed

i didn't know that santa is a bowhunter. LOL!

What else would he do for the rest of the year  

Ron your inner "mountain man" is showing bud...lol

I think your stuff is awesome looking and will "get the job done".

However I ask if you would help educate folks a step further.

I think most have gotten the message about upper body wear but not nearly enough has been said about leggings.

Leggings don't have to be fancy to look good. In your photo I see you have picked a color that will blend your body with your surroundings and still keep your warm.

"How cool is this?... Way!! I'm saying"...

Ron my friend.. you "Rock!"

Merry Christmas brother!

Keep up the good work!!

God bless, Mudd

That looks like a real practical piece of clothing, wool is all I care to wear when I'm outdoors. Are the sizes cut generous for layering?

Good looking stuff!

Ron;

Are those Steger mukluks?  If they are, I'd like to get a review from you for hunting purposes.  I've been looking at those and wondering how quiet they are and what the footing's like.

I wore the Trecker while at Shrewhaven this year, and I really enjoyed it. Notice in Ron's picture that the pockets are set lower. They work well if you are wearing a belt, you can still access the pockets. The hood is nice too. I usually don't care for a hood, but I grew to appreciate this one. You can wear it "full size" for optimum wind protection, or kind of roll it back to improve you peripheral vision. This is a very functional garment.

I agree Ron wool is great!!! Hey Ron Where did you get the boots? They look like something I would enjoy wearing please send me some information if you would please, thanks Jerry.

They're Steger Moosehide Mukluks. GREAT winter footwear, felt lined, warm and lightweight. The ones I'm wearing are the Yukon's in the tall size. I also have a pair of Traditional-Short in brown. A word to the wise, order them in a size or two larger than you'd normally wear, I had to send my first pair back...too small.

Mudd, you're right, the bottom half of your body is important to keep warm also. It's gotta get pretty cold before I break out the longjohns. I've got a couple pair of lambs wool LJ's, they're soft as a baby's behind and warm. Then wool pants and my Mukluks. The wool leg ties (garters) aren't really necessary but they help keep the pants from sagging above the boots...plus they look cool...    :D

For years I have been a great believer in sleeveless layers.  

My arms don't get cold very easily so a few layers (long john, shirt, jacket) work well.  

Then one or two vests or other sleeveless garments, either under or over the jacket, and I am toasty !  And I can move my arms and shoot.

Ron....... AGREED !!!

We made the switch a few years back and cannot believe it took us this long to catch on, slow I guess ? I have said it before and will say it again.... "Try as he may, man simply cannot improve on what God made. " Love how wool breathes and has such a large comfort range. Does not readily absorb ordors and is super quiet in cold weather. Also absorbs light and blends in even in solid colors. Mason LOVES his LongHunter !

I agree, the sleeveless piece makes a huge difference for me and feeling more mobile during the shot. Great pics and advice, thanks Ron!

Hey Precurve
I've been wearing the same mukluk for several years. It is perhaps the finest footwear for warmth,comfort(read lightweight) and winter use.I was never able to experience warm feet until I started wearing these.

@Ron:THX for the link

Good stuff Ron, I like the idea of the attatched hood to the sleeveless model,,I've been wearing your pullovers for about 3 yrs now, they stop the wind and keep in the heat, and it's easy to pull the bow 'cause I'm not so bulked up.

It have to be wool what santa's wearing!!!
