    I’ve turned pathetically weak some days with tolerating cold. Been looking at those. Would you say they’re that big of a step up from like scent lok or comparable level? I’ve been debating on getting some wool under layers or potentially looking towards the incinerator.

    I've been eyeballing that suit too. But I guess my question is. What temps would you not be comfortable wearing it? Like how warm? Is it something you could only wear when it's well below freezing? Or could you wear this in the 30s or 40s? Or would you cook on those days?

    I only have the jacket... not the pants, but I think I may get the pants too. It was warm. I would think that you could wear it in the 30s / 40s as well.

    supposed to be -17 or something with the windchill here tonight. I am going to go sit the last 1. 5 hours of light or so. Big boy was there at 5;30pm last night.. and 2 other nice bucks w/ him over night.. maybe the extreme cold and winds coming in later will bring one in before dark tonight. fingers crossed.
    supposed to be ridiculously cold in AM.

    Warmed up to -9 here now. Was -27 for morning. Gotta say real glad I didn’t hold back this year. Sucks not getting to hunt on nicer days but the way weathers been hasn’t been too many and the bad ones are rough

    Good luck to you guys. Getting out below zero deserves some kinda return. Definitely earning it.

    I don't have the incinerator but have the fanatic suit. I would assume the incinerator is warmer. On real cold/windy days I wear with light layer of merino wool and then cabelas primaloft stand hunter suit and then Sitka. If I have a long hike in I'll pack in bibs and jacket. I was wearing full set when I shot my buck this year and didn't feel restricted on the draw.
    I sat Wednesday when it was 2 degrees and stayed plenty warm. I forgot the toe warmers otherwise I stayed nice and toasty. I'm headed out shortly supposed to be -7 by the time I get out of the stand.

    Glad I was able to put some decent points on the board again this year. Can’t wait for next bow season. Dreaming of taking a late season hunt to TX or something.
