Default one piece or two

What do you guys like better for the really cold late season bowhunting days, I'm thinking of buying a one piece suit. They must be warmer then a two piece. What do you think?

I use a 2 piece that has a pair of bibs. Scent blocker Plus. It is more important to wear the correct layers than anything when its cold.

Before you buy a one piece coverall, read the active thread "Poop Talk 101". When nature calls...well...

I have never had the nature calls problem, but 2 piece is more adaptable. I have a one piece coverall, love it, but hardly use it. BUT, if I had bibs, they would not be insulated (like my coveralls) so I could use the for spring turkey.

I guess the question is how much do you want to spend on so many dress combos? I have an oversized set of camo shirt and sweatpants that fit over everything else I can wear at once, so i can layer and cover in camo and go hunt.

I agree to the bibs. More insulation where it counts then a snowmobile suit style outfit. Just my .02 though.

The biggest thing is the opening at your back with a two pice outfit. Coveralls and a jacket/bib combo would be much better over the regular jacket/pant thing!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

You still have to get half-undressed to get out of bibs and a parka. Whatever you decide, don't forget to practice proper bib or coverall management when nature calls!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
