Wind Breakers & Ultra Breathable Raingear

[Austink47]

I have been very happy with a AD90 hoody paired with a Houdini. I wear that combo over a merino base and have been very impressed with the versatility. Always carry a hard shell for when things nasty.

in praise of the windshirt

if you do a search of "windshirt" on this site- I guarantee you my name will pop up dozens of times- I'm a huge fan of windshirts and without a shadow of a doubt they are my most used piece of clothing as the name would imply- they do block wind, but unlike a hardshell (rain jacket) that also...

I can't seem to access that post. Was it moved? I did register.

Thanks! It's Black Friday, so there's of course more of a "need"... and my son lost my prior wind shirt.

I'm thinking of using a wind shirt for duck hunting - to get to the spot. I'm that guy who is such a baby with cold that I wear everything and practically die from heat stroke getting through the pluff mud (SC Lowcountry), so I'm thinking about packing in some of my upper layers, like some do to get to a deer stand.

Maybe I should also be in better shape...

The old adage of "be bold and start cold" works, BUT not going to deny it definitely sucks for awhile
