Title: Staying Warm
Post by: Bush_84 on November 11/14/22, 07:53:15 PM
Hello all.  First year bow hunting.  I've been away from hunting.  First it was school and then it was having children.  Well now I'm getting back into hunting and who really likes to be cold.  I know that I need new boots and bibs, but does anybody have any tips/tricks for staying warm?  I keep adding layers, but I feel like somebody out there can suggest some sort of heated shirt and socks combo that'll keep me toasty.

Never heard that one.  That ought to work well for long walks in followed by long, cold sits.

Ororo. I’m not a huge fan buying quality stuff off Amazon (cause typically it is not) but it’s been great. Very easy to see what heat selection you are on. Very good heat even on all 3 levels. It’s a must for late season hunts and it’s cut layers off my mid season hunts where it’s freezing in the morning and evenings but warm mid day.
