Great review, we both have very similar styles for layering. I too wear a light weigjt merino sweater 125g then i move upto either a 250g merino wool or depending on temp 350g merino, i have also put the fanatic hoody over top of my mid weight layer, with possibly the ambient jacket or depending on temp I also use a heated vest for an extra heat boost just to get that chill out. Key point to the vest is make sure it is snug to your body. Then the fanatic jacket over that. You are definitely not getting cold.and you have complete movement for bow hunting. I wear merino wool long underwear under the fanatic bibs and i am fine. One of the key points you.put out there and i fimd is so important, keep your neck and head warm with something like the fanatic beanie and neck gaiter. I can tell.you with this set up i have seen myself sit in temps where people will.give up and go home. Great video

I found this video very helpful. Late season is tough enough and the cold weather adds another element to it. I love merino base layers. One thing I did this season was changing out my base layer shirt just prior to reaching my hunting spot. I wear the bare minimum walking in but my back is sweaty from my pack. I felt this helped but wonder if a second merino layer would help. I sweat standing still and run hot so I’m not sure. I’ll have to try running a thin wicking sock followed by a heavy sock. That might help my feet stay warmer as they sweat a lot walking in. Good content learned some things for sure.

I’m just getting into now hunting this year. I really appreciate these videos and podcasts! What do you do to keep your hands warm and still maintain flexibility for your fingers?

Thin synthetic base, polyurethane layer vest, predator fleece coat is my go to cold weather system.

Finally got to track some
Deer in the snow yesterday, I got within about 50 yards of a couple does but too many branches and shrubs in the way.
I’m gonna sit for a few hours in the same area and see if they come back today before I freeze lol

I appreciate the video and totally agree with the layering system.
Question: in cold temps, when hiking into and generating heat going to your stand site, what do you do regarding the mid layer to prevent removing your boots? Specificity: do you skip the mid layer (just a base and non insulated pants going in) and add a heavy bib with hip zippers once at stand without the mid layer, or do you have a mid layer that doesn’t require removing your boots? Thanks.

Good content! Not to be negative it’s just a lot more work in the cold to do all that dressing and packing. I hope I can get on some deer this late season. Haven’t figured them out yet.

[columbotee]

For me, I find sweatpants and bibs to be the most comfortable and warm

[jnorth]

You cant put a price on comfort. Out of all the gear its the most important.

Whats the purpose of a mid layer? I've never understood that. Like o get the fact that base layer gonna wick the insulation layer keeps you warm outer layer keeps you warm and dry, what's the mid layer for?
