browndog Juvenile at Sea Registered: 10/09/09 Posts: 182 Loc: Coast Range OR.	Yeah I do like the warmth and wicking of the fleece. My concern is most of the fleece I own seem's not to be as durable. The hoody get"s worn alot and also as an outermost layer Just plain take's alot of abuse will the High end fleece hold up ? _________________________ Favorite quote "Don't ask me how I know this" (Stam 2010)

That's why it's important to layer. They key is layering. One can never be "too warm" when fishing from now until summer time. A cotton hoody will hold up and can be abused really heavily. If it's truly too cold for just the hoody, I'll put a windstopper fleece jacket over the hoody. If it's wet out, on goes the G4 SIMM's jacket. That puppy keeps any wind and rain out. Slap a fleece or windstopping touk on my head and the hoodie top is just a bonus layer in keep the cold off of my neck and head. But, he's right in that a cotton anything won't keep you that warm. Fleece us much better for warmth. _________________________ T.K. Paker

Hoodies on guys are uncool, maybe even gay, not that there's anything wrong with that. Guys wear hooded sweatshirts or hooded parkas and raincoats, but no F'in hoodies! Didn't we just go over this last winter? Slow learners here some times. Sg

browndog Juvenile at Sea Registered: 10/09/09 Posts: 182 Loc: Coast Range OR.	Alright I am getting the carhartt "hooded sweatshirt" for now(sorry stam no offense still resisting the high tec stuff),not really worried abought cold,rain, just want a go to "hooded sweatshirt" that will hold up and be like an old pair of jeans. As far as the owlshit goes the only thing I know at this point is last year while sitting in a stand watching a bunch of does waiting for the horned version. Here comes this barn owl and proceed's to sit in the tree right next to me then start hooting and making a bunch of flippen noise.Don't think the doe's saw me but it sure put them on alert and the buck never showed.. I really wanted to make it so that owl never shat again. I'll see if I can find out a little more. I have no idea were to get the JBH version. Thanks for the input guy's _________________________ Favorite quote "Don't ask me how I know this" (Stam 2010)

A big PLUS is it drys out fast, that cotton hoodie gets wet & your gonna stay in that wetness all day. Trust me on this, 1/2 way down to Barlows I pulled a 360 degree underwater vertical spin move off the side of a Puma last February IN about 4 feet of Hoh with ol' cotton on. It sure made for an interesting afternoon. c/22 _________________________ Apocalypse Steelheader. Chucking gear as the end draws near.

It sure made for an interesting afternoon. Truth is I will probabably end up with both. I am just resistant to the high tech stuff' Tried and tried the gortex,poly blah blah stuff but always end back up in the wool and grunden's in the nasty weather. Have not tried the under armour brand very happy with filson merino wool. Probably a different story if I was hiking,sweating and such but most of the time I am in the boat. Do appreciate all the input. Still Studying up on the owlshit. c/22 _________________________ Favorite quote "Don't ask me how I know this" (Stam 2010)

Marz Returning Adult Registered: 02/04/09 Posts: 299 Loc: Edmonds, WA	I agree that fleece is a great warmer, but I usually will wear it as a base layer. Cotton sweatshirts are not a good outer layer in rain/snow but neither is fleece. Basically what I do for my upper body in winter conditions (and everyone has their own methods) is as follows: thermal shirt (hot chillies or Under $$ Armor) or fleece shirt > hooded zipper Carhartt sweatshirt > shell (I use a Special Blend shell I used to use for snowboarding). That setup paired with a fleece beanie (skullcap) and a waterproofed boonie hat keeps me pretty darn dry and warm. being able to drop the shell and still keep warm is why I have found the Carhartt much better than other sweatshirts. Your mileage may very. edit - Fleece shirt http://www.amazon.com/TAIGA-Polartec-Mic...524&sr=1-20 Edited by Marz (12/09/09 03:46 PM)*

Oregonian Three Time Spawner Registered: 03/17/05 Posts: 1765	I wear hooded sweatshirts around the house and/or town all the time. If I'm going out in a boat, or getting a long ways from the truck with chance of getting wet, then it's fleece. Wet cotton clothing, a long ways from support, can get you really cold.

Castingpearls Repeat Spawner Registered: 03/26/08 Posts: 1240 Loc: The Rock	I always wear a fleece hoodie so that I don't get too cold due to the massive leak at the knee in my waders. With a cotton hoodie I'd be miserable.
