I'm going to have to go with the new Scent-Lok Full Season pants and jacket. They are warm during the cold and cool during the warmer days. They feel nice with fleece on the inside and its a really quiet suit. It would cost you around $250 or so for the pants and jacket. Of course its a carbon suit also.

I wouldn't try to do it all with one outfit. That's why I have some of everything. The temperature range you gave as a guide is really nothing extreme. I like wool for temperature control. I like Goretex for rain control. I like to beable to throw on a Goretex jacket if it starts to rain on my parade. If it's snow the wool takes care of it. In the 50s that you mentioned I'm still just layering undies and cotton stuff or light weight wool. I have some light stuff and some heavier stuff and lots of different undies to layer it up. I really would never try to find a one suit does it all.
David:

I think this is great advice and appreciate your input. Unfortunately this year my budget allows me to get only one set of outerwear, so I really need something that will let me hunt in the majority of the conditions you will see in northern PA and southern tier NY. I do have lots of good high end options for layers underneath, I guess I am looking for a shell that with the appropriate layers under can be worn in the conditions I listed. Water repellant will have to do for this year, next year full waterproof is on the list of items to get. Considering I have just been sitting out there anyhow in regular non water repellant (mostly fleece) outerwear for years now, even water repellant will be a treat.

Do you have the Sitka stuff? I am guessin no from your PM. I've been in communication w/ Buckeye already but want to talk with someone that has first hand experience with the stuff that might be able to compare the fabric in their 90% suit to say wolfskin..........

No doubt, 2x years ago I got 3x seperate sets of the x-scent complete outfits on clearance from wally world for like $40 total.

Do you wear your x-scent socks and shorts to work? [8D]
