Whitetail Stand Jacket

[PSDBowhunter]

I'm in the same basic climate as you and do some treestand sitting about half the time. I can not stand cold or bulk and have spent quite a bit of effort trying to figure out what keeps me warm without feeling bulky and heavy.

I got the Pnuma heated layers and wear them next to skin along with some heated socks. I wear a very light mid layer over those if its at the bottom end of temp range. I wear the Stratus down to about 40 degrees. Any lower than that, I get into the Fanatic. If you minimize mid layers, it isnt too bulky. I add in a neck gaiter and good hat (game changer) and I'm good to go for sitting.

It looks like you're already pretty packed into that Stratus with all the layers. The Pnuma was pricey but completely worth it and negates the extra layers. The Fanatic won't be anymore bulky than what you are already wearing.

My brother got the Pnuma heated gear. Another option for sure. I like that idea for stand hunts that are no more than 3-4 hours.

I've been looking at the fishnet baselayers. I may have to get them as well.

What mid layers have a high CLO? I've seen this thrown around when diving down this rabbit hole. Is that something manufacturers advertise?

Here is a chart.

Some light reading.

I grabbed a Huntworth jacket last year. I can't recall exactly which model but it doesn't have a hood because I don't like them.

Standing on a snowy PA morning with 20 mile an hour winds in my face without a ton under it, a UA shirt and a light fleece vest, I was considering venting heat when the deer showed up and ended the hunt.

I'd be curious to know which jacket. Still good for archery? How does it compare to the bigger names like sitka?
