Went too Cabela's last Saturday with the intent of picking up some cold weather gear.... Last winter showed some weaknesses in my clothing arsenal lol..... I'd talked too some marines while I was deployed about the cold weather gear that they've been using and they basically said hit Cabela's and get their cold weather base layers.... I looked them up and did some reading on the subject and decided too give it a try....
Pricey for me but they were really talked up by the marines we were with.... So the wife, daughter and her boyfriend and I made the trip too wheeling too Cabela's... When we got there I walked directly too them and picked up a set and pretty much stared at them lol.... I had a 15% off coupon and a 100.00 gift card on me but something about dropping that kind of money on something that I still wasn't 100% sure would work lol.... Well it bothered me.... But I bought the top and bottom and figured what the heck couldn't be any worse then 7 year old under armor cold gear lmao!!!!!
Well wore them a couple of times just too get used too them and see how they fit in the field while rabbit hunting and they were a little too much in 40 degree weather and then used them tonight with the temps around freezing while on stand for a little over three hours..... Gotta say they worked pretty friggin good.... I can usually hang for 3-4 hours on stand around 30 degrees until I have too get down and move around too get the blood flowing again, but I didn't get anywhere near being cold or chilled for that matter.... Now my feet did get cold but my upper and lower half stayed nice and warm and there was pretty good wind blowing most of the afternoon.....
As of now I'd say it was worth the investment on this base layer.... Now if I could find something like this too keep my feet warm I'd be thrilled lmao.....
