+1. That Woolpower top chiseller mentioned from tamarack is one of my 2013 best buys. Im dying to get another, but I know this one will last years.
I cant imagine how cold it must be to have to wear the 200,400, and then the 600 on top of that, with something like a swanndri and then a ventile shell?
I've only tried wearing it twice.....tried....its too warm for just sitting in on an evening backwoods with a clear sky.....I recently sat up till gone 2am round a small fire just wearing my trusty 200grm with the sleeves rolled back. Everyone else had multi layers on. Worn it damp too on many occasions. Woolpower have got it cracked with the blend of wool n synthetic and there looped winners......
There's a very good reason why old army clothes were wool lined .....they had to travel further, stay out longer, didn't have fancy food or kit and couldn't rely on being picked up, returning to a big base etc.
Same as old and new hunters who are out for more than a weekend.
yes you can buy 500 bucks worth of softshell etc......but Google 'king of the mountain camo. Even fjall ravens most expensive trouser is wool.
Ever seen a sheep or a goat shiver? If it does its because its ill.
Kilts.....,specially great plaid kilt......made from wool.....
No brainer really.
Glad you like it Dave, I went to try to buy the gillet as I knew straight away they were a bargain. Alas none my size.
