I have a Wooltimate vest from Cabela’s that I really love. When my wife asked what I wanted for Christmas I told her I’d really like a Wooltimate jacket to go with it. I sent her the link and knew that she ordered it. The surprise was in a second package she had for me. I’ve become a fan of merino wool and really rave about how much I like my merino base layers. I like both Smartwool and Minus33. She gave me a heavyweight 1/4zip from Smartwool. I forget the exact percentages but it’s mostly merino wool with a little polyester and nylon. It’s like a heavy fleece that’s mostly merino wool. I was wearing it around the house yesterday and it was so warm I had to take it off. I put on a fleece vest instead and was noticeably cooler. I live in the St. Louis, MO area and we had low teens and single digits yesterday and it was surprising how warm that simple 1/4 zip kept me. I think it will be a great mid layer for really cold hunts but it’s nice enough that I can wear it as a jacket or outer layer on warm days around the house or even when I’m just out and about. My wife is a teacher and she wanted a warm, long coat to wear on recess duty. I bought her a full length Down coat from Lands End. I guess this was the year of the coat in our house. (Plus Cards/Cubs tickets - we’re a house divided when it comes to baseball)
I know Christmas isn’t about giving and getting but hopefully you got something nice too!
