Browning wool w/ no scent fleece liner

[troutms]

Anyone have any experience with this stuff?

[Zmonster]

I'll let you know in a week. Ive got a set on order.

Did you order it from Cabela's?

[Zmonster]

No, I got it from my local sportsmans warehouse, but they didnt have my size in stock, so they are shipping it from another store.

I think it will be good stuff. Stay in touch and let me know please.

I got all my wool today!!! I got the shirt pants and windblocker parka. Let me tell you, my opinion may be a little bias, but I think the quality is top notch. I'm a big Browning fan, and they have never let me down. The shirt and pants are more of a silk lined vs. fleece, which is nice up against the skin, but makes it just heavy enough to be a light jacket. It's also supposed to supply some form of scent control, which is nice, but not necessary. Good for early fall hunts. The parka is much thinner than I expected, but looks to be plenty warm for later hunts. It will be a while before I get to field test it, cause I'm recovering from a surgery I had last week.  

The outer wool layer feels very rugged, yet supple. High quality wool for sure. I don't have any of the high dollar stuff such as King of the Mountain or Sleeping Indian to compare too, but for the price I paid for this stuff, I feel I didn't go wrong in supplying myself with heirloom quality wool hunting fatigues. I scoured the Internet for a review of the stuff, but came up empty handed, so I just took a chance, and ended up very happy.

Is the jacket significantly heavier than the shirt?
By the descriptions the jacket seems to just have more pockets, which is nice.

Its noticibly heavier, but I wouldnt say significantly. I didnt expect it to be as thin as it was. Honestly, I think the shirt one size larger than normal, with layers under would be perfect. I dont see myself wearing the wool shirt and parka at the same time, unless I was in the arctic.

The parkas liner is more of a fleece than the silk of the shirt, so there is more thickness, but not much. The parka is also longer. I dont have any experiance with the jacket, but it does appear shorter, and dosent have a hood.

For those interested in wool:
Bass pro has Browning wool on sale right now. From the description it might not be lined with fleece like the 2007 model Zmonster is describing but it is  a good price.
