What's your preferred cold weather clothing?

I like Onyx Arctic Shield clothing when it gets really cold. It's not breathable, so you have to be careful moving around or you'll get sweaty, but it's super warm. When I'm going to be moving around a lot, I use several lighter layers. I use fleece or wool for the bottom layers, and regular uninsulated camo for the outer ones.

I'm actually debating building a wooden elevated blind by one of my favorite spots and running electricity to it so that I can hook up a heater for when the young kids(or me...we all have those days) can hunt without dealing with the cold/wind/rain. I love wool and layers. I'm generally moving or walking long distances to hunt, so I need the layers. This means a base layer made of wool(I like the cabelas brand ones I have the best), and multiple more thin layers on top of that. I hate the feeling of big gloves, so I usually opt for a more flexible pair and some hand warmers in my pockets. As for socks I go with wool. Usually bring a backpack along with a wool blanket tied to the top of it, and an extra pair of socks. Always leave room to store any shed layers. If it is real windy I'll even bring a scarf since my neck is usually the first thing that gets cold if exposed.

I hunt all over the country. Thats the only time I've seen "real cold." I've hunted in temperatures in the negatives here in Missouri without factoring in wind chill, but that is rare. Here in Missouri it has been really warm this year. Usually a base layer and a pair of good pants/a coat is all I needed.
