There's a fortune at stake, there are countless review sites and everyone has an opinion (or two). What to wear outdoors?
As regular readers will know I'm quite a fan of The Gun Nut. My family and friends sneer when I recommend this blog, but whether you’re interested in firearms or not, David E Petzal has a voice that leaps of the page and an understanding of his audience that anyone could learn from. A bit more worldly than many of his fans, (as judged by reading the comments section) he never acknowledges his expertise, choosing instead to portray himself as weary traveller, incidentally dispensing knowledge while dismayed at the way the worlds going.
On the Gun Nut Blog this week David E Petzal talks about the clothes needed take a hike and THEN to sit still for long periods of time during a hunt.
In the comments section I saw this pearl of wisdom
"The quickest way to figure out how to deal with all that is to go to the nearest construction site nearest to the area you want to hunt and see what the guys who are out in it all day long trying to do their job wear. It's not that different from the needs for hunting. They work, they sweat. They can't quit and run home every time they step in a puddle, get sweaty or it rains a little." - Jack Ryan
If you've got any tips for clothes that protect you from the worst of it without costing the earth - post a comment and let us know
Cheers

It's the - takes you from very hot to very cold, from very dry to very wet.
One word..."Army surplus" - oh sorry that's two. Errr "Armysurplus". (I still put a space in and had to delete it.)
This should start some interesting comments anyway.
Best wishes
