The Wild Things wind pro hoody caught my eye. I’m not familiar with that company and I can’t find the hoody on their website though. Good luck.

I believe they discontinued it, which is a shame it's my favorite hoody of all time. I broke the chest pocket zipper but still wear it more than any other hunting clothing.

Its still my favorite fleece mid-layer but they have discontinued it for now. I spoke with someone in their office and they said they are planning on redesigning it and it should be out again in 2020. I believe they might still have a few available if you call and ask but sizes and colors are pretty limited.

All packed up and heading to the airport to pick up Billy

Jimmy said last time there was snow on the way in it was a great season. Here's hoping for a repeat!
