Insulated pants

[*zap*]

Need to wear your mid layer on the trail and then put your outer on at tree or blind. A lot of the insulated pants are going to be to hot unless its really really cold. I have worn the Proximity LT walking about 125 yards to my tree stand in 27 degrees and I thought I was going to pass out and i was drenched. Had to take jacket off and my mid layer. Never did it again and won't. I wear guide pro pants and they weren't to bad walking in with a 200 merino under it. The last Kuiu sale I went and got the heavier Axis pant that have the waterproof paneling and they are definitely heavier than the guide pros. Which is what I wanted.

Be bold and start cold.

If the grass is not wet I wear merino base layers and the KUIU 290 Layering Pant to the stand. Once I get to the base of the stand I put on my Proximity pants & if it's really cold I wear my superdown ultra pants under my proximity also. They're not loud when you put the proximity pants over them.

I always wear a merino base layer, Badlands Rise pants (they are almost like fleece). Then I carry in my Cabelas Wooltimate pants. Those things are really warm. If I have to hike pretty far with a stand, I'll only wear a T shirt or a thin long sleeve shirt and attach my jackets, base layers and wool pants to the stand. When I get to my spot, I use my shirt to dry myself off, wait until I cool off, then put on all my clothes. As long as you are dry, you usually stay warm. It only sucks for a little while, you warm up pretty quick hiking. Even when it's 15-20 degrees.
