Cold? Like Stealth?

[BSB]

This stuff is *the* best. It's warm, very comfortable, and quiet. I heard of them several years ago but got one of their jackets a few days ago.

A BSB recommendation.

    * We still have have a few items in the old TIMBER pattern

 
One COULD probably save a few bucks by choosing the old pattern, but then, they would only be able to bag unstylish deer.

I woudl think that $499 is a bit high for even a wool shirt of such amazing properties.

[BSB]

Yes, no un-stylish deer, please.

Not cheap, but worth it if you use this kind of product.

==========================================

I can see that if one is a hunter, and seeks to fill the freezer with venison every winter that the best equipment would be worth the cost. Meat is around $4 a pound, and so a couple of deer could pay for this shirt.

In what ways is this better than a common $75 plaid wool shirt?

Do you suppose that the new design would be better than the old? I don't think the deer would be all that style-conscious. I have heard that all ungulates are color blind, but of course, this is more an opinion.

Up to you, XO. I just like to pass on really good stuff from personal experience.

And XO likes to pass on his ridicule for anyone who doesn't think like he does.

[BSB]

Well, in this case I think it's evidence of XO's thriftyness.

You can buy all the $399 hunting shirts you wish. I just asked in what ways this rather pricey item is superior to a normal wool shirt. None of you seems to know, or at least you are not telling.

I have owned, prior to moving to Florida, a number of wool shirts and they all were extremely quiet, and quite warm as well.

I think "quiet" is a standard feature of all wool shirts. I recall some rather raucous nylon windbreakers, but I have never seen nor nor heard a wool shirt that was not really, really quiet.

For hunting the standard for silence is quite high.
Humans have cleverness and deadly wepons , the deer have unbeleiveably fine senses and they are getting more clever all the time.

Have you ever missed a shot because you were betrayed by a noisy wool shirt?

If you insist on shooting only the stupid deer, they will continue getting smarter.

The unavoidable consequence of evolution.

Deaf deer are doomed , hunters wearing cordeeroy are frustrated .

So deer become more sensitive as their less sensitive brethern are culled , wiser as their more foolish brethren feed hunters.

Hunters attempt lots of tactics to overcome the incredable senses of deer , tactics that work get remembered.

Still, there are a lot of stupid deer hit by cars on the highway.

I am still wondering how a $400 wool shirt would be better than an ordinary wool shirt to justify the price.

That will be corrected by evolution too.

Deer are very sensitive to low light also , another trait that makes them hard to hunt , but when their sight is overwhelmed with strong light their sensitiveity works against them , the bright light must disable their systems .

I think that the evolutionary pressure of traffic deaths will improve the intelligence of succeding generations of deer .

Also Humans are dieing to find a way to keep the deer and moose from wrecking their cars , cars less harmed by the colission or lights less likely to dazzle deer might be good selling points.

[BSB]

This is getting good.

This is getting good.

Deer need to benefit from evolution , cars need also to benefit from evolution.

A car that was less likely to be deer wrecked would have a selling point , one that ran on less money would also , which is the stronger pressure?

Can cars respond to both demands?
