Looks like we are good to go. Mike got ahold of me today like was said. They are out of the black color I ordered so they are sending the Camo color with a free set of socks for the delay.
Hopefully I will have them for this weekend and will write a review.
Thanks for the help.

Now do you guys wear them as insulated underware or do you wear them under your insulated underwear and use them for scent control only?

I wear mine over my Under Armour cold gear when it gets below 40, just by themselves if it is above that...

Thanks Jesse. Somewhere I had the idea the clothing was a insulated type with the scent killing added.
When that wind storm came up yesterday I put the top and bottom on under just a pants and shirt. I went out in that storm to take down one of my ground blinds that exposed. I got soaking wet but I must say I was really impressed with the warmth the Cooperhead Clothing gave me.
Even after I got back soaking wet I visisted with a friend that came over for probaly 30 minutes and the wet outer clothes really didn't bother me.
I will get them a real test tommorrow if this wind let's up. But so far I am really impressed.
My wife did really laugh when seen them. It appears my grandsons wear them under their work cloths when setup the gunshows. She said someone sells them at the gunshows we go to. I will have to check to see if indeed it is the same clothe.

Come to think of it. I am pretty sure the wife ordered me a pair of socks and I never got them. We are going to have to research that.

I have also been using them since the beginning of season. Like Jesse I sweat mostly around my lower back and chest area. I noticed I was staying much warmer on the stand and finally figured out it was because the Copperhead clothes had wicked away any sweat. If I had to put a percent on it I would say I was 30% warmer. Last week I took a week off to hunt the rut. I hunted hard for 9 days and wore the copperhead clothes daily. I only washed them at the beginning of the weeks and avoided smoking them up. I still smoked my other layers and clothes but not the Copperhead clothes. I wore them from sun up to sundown for 9 days. Even when I would change out of my other layers at the truck I would leave the copperhead clothes on and dress back in to my normal clothes. I did this mostly because changing out of the copperhead clothes would have me standing in a field in my birthday suit. Temps ranged from 27 - 70 during the 9 days I was hunting. Two of those days I forgot to wear the scent away deodorant after my morning shower. Any other time would have had me driving back to the house. Instead I just laughed and said we'll see what this stuff is made of.

At the end of the nine days I hesitantly sniffed around the garments.. Nada. They smelled like fabric. I was floored. I'm a boxer man myself and wearing boxers under the base layer clothes makes the boxers bunch. So I wore these as undergarments the whole time. I was simply amazed that nowhere on the garment could i detect a noticeable odor.

Comfort was superb. They didn't bunch, ride up, or feel like a sausage casing. They stayed down while in my boots and the shirt stayed tucked. Range of motion stayed the same without even the slightest tug of the fabric when climbing or drawing back.

Overall I would say that the Copperhead Clothes surpassed my expectations. Initially I was skeptical that a little copper in a garment would produce any noticeable difference. The scent killing abilities combined with the added warmth make it a solid product in my book that performs exactly as it's advertised. And they're comfortable! The face mask is one of the best I have ever tried. It's not to tight and doesn't shift around. The fabric has enough grip that your hat doesn't fall off. The front of the face mask can be pulled below your chin and doesn't choke you but is readily available to be pulled back up when deer are close. And when pulling it up and down it doesn't change how it covers your face and it goes back the same every time.

I also noticed another thing that I can't prove one way or another and need some more testing to figure it out. Not sure how I'm going to test it exactly but it was an observation while on the stand. The deer didn't seem as worried as seasons past. We've all had those deer that just get hinkey for no apparent reason. Almost like they just know somethings up. They slink around.. Look everywhere.. And sometimes for no reason just back out. That didn't happen at all last week. I don't think I can contribute it to the clothes, and I'm not sure I believe in it myself. But copper screens are commonly used to block electromagnetic radiation. Faraday cages are nothing more than thin copper mesh that block out all electromagnetic waves from coming in to or leaving an enclosed area. I can't say deer can sense the waves we put out, and I can't say the clothes block them. All I can say is the science. Copper mesh blocks electromagnetic fields.

All in all I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another set. They perform exactly as advertised and even shocked me as to their effectiveness. I would however like to see the facemask be a little longer, it's an awesome mask as is but added length would make it just that much better. These clothes combined with smoke is one deadly combination to defeat a whitetails nose.
