My personal cold weather setup, when I lived in Montana I wore a lot of Sitka and its good stuff, but I have found that the gear from Natural Gear suffices excellent here in the not so cold Alabama climate. https://naturalgear.com/natural-stealth-hunter-grand-stand-bib/https://naturalgear.com/natural-stealth-hunter-grand-stand-parka/I wear a mid level weight maybe 600 or 800 g Wolverine 8" insulated hunting boot, with TCK Prosport Performance Tube Socks, if I am going to be doing a lot of hiking and foot exposure to mud and water I will wear a thicker wool sock over tube sock, a basic good quality knit sock will suffice decently. Usually I wear a thin wool or microfiber layer under that, like skiing undergarments, good wicking undergarments are important. If I am going to be in a tree stand on a windy day I go a little heavier on the under layers. Personally I wear this on my head https://www.rothco.com/product/rothco-polar-fleece-balaclava now on a very windy day I will wear this and pop the hood of Natural Gear Parka up. Gloves - Hot Shot Igloos Men's The Sentry Mittens ------ now these are great for sitting in a stand etc..... but due to them being knit gloves they are prone to snagging if you are hiking through the brush, at which point I stick to a basic insulated work glove from Lowes or TSC Now if you need a warm dry glove practically regardless of the conditions Hestra makes the best in my opinion. https://hestragloves.com/sport/en/gloves/outdoor/38600-hunters-gauntlet-czone/861/ In a tree stand on a cold morning nothing beats either of these stuffed with a pair of hot hands packs: https://naturalgear.com/fleece-handwarmer-muff/ or https://www.sitkagear.com/products/incinerator-muffAnd I pack water of course but I also pack a Stanley thermos filled with this.... 50% black coffee, 50% beef broth, cuz who doesn't need coffee, and the beef broth has just a touch of calories and some good salts that help your body stay warm, something I learned from an old Elk & Moose hunting outfitter in Canada. Of course his was more like 40% black coffee, 40% beef broth and 20% Canadian Club Whiskey....
