Looking to buy a new pair of Hunting/camo coveralls for extreme cold. I figure you guys would know best of all. What are your thoughts pros/cons. I would like something that is quite. Hunting all day long.
Thanks

Ever try walking a decent distance bundled up like the marshmallow man? Not easy not fun. Get good boots socks and dress in layers. Take a break b4 you get sweated up.
Unless you are just sitting then id bring a good sleeping bag to sit in .
Cold weather hunting
Base layer Marino ( or synthetic) bottom and top. Un insulated waterproof bibs- I like ones that come up to my ribs to keep snow out. If extreme cold a pair of fleece pants under the bibs.
On top I wear a fleece pull over under a waterproof un insulated coat. Good to -35 waking. If sitting I throw my-30 quilt in my pack or a puffy set. The way I can be mobile and add or subtract layers as I hear up/cool down.
I have the sitka incinerator line
Used it when I went musk ox hunting in greenland
Great when we were riding around on skidoos at minus 30
When we started climbing the mountains after them, man did it get hot
Had to give my jacket to my buddy, because he was freezing in his under armour and i was boiling in mine
It depends on what your going to be doing
One that fits all tasks doesnt exist
Strip layers when getting hot.
Add layers when getting cold.
Wool. Real real simple really.
