Johnson woolen mills.Anyone have reccomendations for cold weather still hunting wool pants/jacket?
I guess I’ve gone down both roads. Kuiu, for my western ventures as well as spring/early fall here in MN.Wool is still the norm around here. Way more Johnson WM, Pendleton, Filson and LLBean in the woods here, than First Lite, Sitka, Kuiu, etc.
And nothing is as quiet as wool.I guess I’ve gone down both roads. Kuiu, for my western ventures as well as spring/early fall here in MN.
By the time deer season and ice fishing seasons come around the wool starts making sense. It’s heavy, and wind can penetrate, that permeability though keeps the sweat moving out away from the skin. A dapper 3 piece suit of Filson Mackinaw wool. With a silk weight layer next to skin, I’m pretty set for a winter day.
The modern hunting gear can be made to work. However, it hasn’t bested the old fashioned woolens, if all around performance is the measure.
