Some great deals on thermal underwear now that the weathers warm. I love my insulated coveralls....like wearing a comforter. Id recommend buying a size bigger for cold weather layering. Also, dont skimp on boots. Rockys have been a decent brand.
You mentioned cold so Im assuming you are looking to hunt deer.
Stan,
It would help if you listed the type of hunting you want to do? Bow? Muzzle Loader? Firearm?
As stated before, Velcro is a deal breaker.
Bow season will last from the hot days of September to the bone chilling cold of January. During the warm days you will want to wear a moisture wicking material, because you will be sweating a good bit, even if you are sitting still in a stand.
Early Muzzle-loader is in October when the weather is at it most seasonal. A light jacket, non-insulated shoes/boots works well.
After that, the weather can just be cold. Warm waterproof boots are the ticket. You will need to learn layering your clothing.
For all of the seasons try to stay away from laundry detergent that has UV brighteners in it. You will look like a blue blob in the woods to deer. treatments like UV-Killer is a apply once application, as long as you do not wash with UV brighteners again.
I will be hunting the firearms season VA as well as MD.
If you plan on being a die-hard type, and you plan to hunt in snow and rain, you’re gonna need waterproof clothing. Gore Tex is probably your best bet but other types of waterproof membranes also work well (Dry Plus for instance). In my opinion, you won’t go wrong with Cabelas brand clothing, and they won’t break the bank. If cost is an issue, Under Armour base layers are worth paying a little extra, but their outerwear is super-extra-crazy expensive.
Bass Pro RedHead brand also puts out some nice clothes. Try also to get a few different camo patterns. One with greens for early season, greys and browns for when the leaves turn & dry/start falling. For the colder months once the leaves fall a more open pattern with more greys & whites.
I’d further advise: Don’t cheap out on boots, pants, or jacket(s), or insulating base layers in cold weather. Other garments can skate by cheaper.
I hope this helps some. Good luck.
