What do y'all think about polypropylene ECWCS next to my UA cold gear?

That would work great also but you should really check out the Cabela's extreme stand hunter bibs and parka or skip the parka and get a woolimate pullover with wind stopper.Best stuff i have ever owned.

First and foremost I wanted thank all who gave me their advice, opinion, and words of wisdom on the subject. I made my decision tonight and decided on US Storm pants and hoodie. They are wind and rain resistant and are a good weight for a mid layer. I also picked up a thin pair of doc liners and a pair of middle weight merino wool socks. Plus the deal of the day was found at Goodwill at 10:15 where I found a 50% acrylic 50% wool long sleeve sweater for $3.00, that's right $3.00. Haha. Thanks again all for all your input and I feel like I will be very toasty.

Scrap the cotton! Polypro, POLY-fleece, wool, thermax, UA all good. Cotton, sweats, socks, sweaters, ALL BAD except for outer most camo layer.
Thin liner type sock and then wool or other not cotton insulating type sock(s). Make sure you feet have ample room. There is a point that more socks, even the right kind will make your feet cold as they restrict blood flow. I am also amazed how much warmer the rest of me is when my head is warm. A good wool or fleece hat and a fleece neck gator work miracles. In addition it is very important to not get overheated walking in and or climbing up into the stand. I under dress on the way in and layer up in the stand. I have a couple buddies that swear by those over boot things when it is really cold.
Hope this helps
