Well let me toss this to ya. I am a wool lover as well. Nothing better except, Wool with a dry plus liner, Cabelas. The wool works as it does, the liner prevents any moisture getting in. Even though Wool is suppose to keep you dry, wet is wet. My firm suggestion is, no pants, get bibs. So much more comfortable, keeps clothing tucked in and comfortable, much warmer than pants and no waist restrictions at all. Love them. Also, instead of a huge bulky parka, all you need is a jacket or light coat. The warmth of bibs is great and the heat rises right in to your jacket, chest and so on.
