Define cold.
This is what does the trick for me even in the minus degree weather.
Base Layers- Under Armour top and bottom then a pair of merino wool long underware over that
Mid layer- Arctic weight Polar fleece pants and pull over top 1/4 zipper (open and close to regulate the heat as needed.
Outter layer- Cabelas bibbs and parka
Feet- Wool socks and boots that are a size or two big (even with the socks on) to allow for dead air space.
Hands- Thin Under Armour gloves
The key piece of gear that keeps me warm are the Hot Hands. I use the adhesive backed ones for the legs, one on each thigh. I have two fleece pouches that I pin to the inside of my parka in the lower back area (makes it nice to lean back into the tree). Two go the hand pockets of the parka and I hold these in my pockets when my hands get cold. Toe warmers are a waste and just make your feet sweat which will cut your hunt short.
