Which puffy pants for tree stand hunting?

I've looked at those UA puffy pants and they are pretty nice, but I'm more amazed that you sat in 15 degree windchill in merino base layers and timberline pants and didnt get cold for 3 hours!
I was surprised as well. I think often the worst part about sitting in the cold is my butt and knees leak all my warmth because that's where my pants are tight across my body. With the waterproof/windproof panels of the timberlines and the kneepads, I think it protected me from the wind more than I realized.
 
Timberlines are pretty awesome. I ran them over a wool base layer and a pair of Zions and stayed warm in WY high desert, 19 degrees. But we were hiking the hills.
 
I have the stand hunter bibs with the whitetail parka. I only have to wear a pair of sweat pants on really cold days as a layer with these bibs, they are very warm and the parka does its job as well with only a hoodie and long sleeves are needed.
