Your problem is part of the reason I've given up on fleece. The other part is that for me, moisture collects on the inside and takes forever to dissipate.
My solution is to wear wool when it's not too windy, and my old Cabelas waterfowl parka when it is. It's so old that it's made in America. Has a camo shell, Gore-tex liner, and a layer of thinsulate. It's easily the warmest coat I've got and weighs next to nothing, especially compared to my Filson. WV requires 400 square inches of orange during the firearms big game seasons, so I wear a cheap Walmart fleece jacket that I cut the sleeves off as a vest, which cuts the noise down a lot. It also adds some pockets for gloves and such. That thing cost me all of about $10 and works like a champ.
What fresh Hell is this?

Jeff,
I buy the coveralls big to use as a top layer and they work really well for me. I'll have 4.0 and regular layers underneath. The only thing I don't like coveralls for is walking as I get way too hot. My current Walls set fits in my pack, so I only put them on when I'm sitting somewhere for a bit. That said, I have run the coveralls alone with no ins base layers when I was doing stalking in cold weather. It worked well, but I wouldn't have wanted to sit long w/o the layers underneath(Usually throw a light jacket in the pack just in case).
I think the coveralls help more in the wind and keep the heat in much better than the bib/parka combo since they are one piece.
Cool. I'd look into it again if the bib/coat thing wasn't working so great for us! I haven't put on a coverall, other than fire coveralls, in so long I have no clue.. likely the 90s...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
