The wet cold and dry cold uniform. I been colecting and useing this gear since like '73& wool has got all of the manmade fiber beat. When you put cotton over the wool it stops the wind. Put a set of OG Helly Hansons on over it and you are bomb proof in the wet cold.Warm, fireproof, nonreflective.Whats not to love? The only problem that I'v got is; Those dumbasses at the Fumble Factory stoped procureing them.
