It is starting to get that time up here in my neck of the woods. I bought the insulated Cabela's Guide Wear 11 years ago and it is still going strong. I have fished in some cold weather here in WV and I have jeans on under the bibs and a long sleeve T-shirt with a hooded sweatshirt and as far as layering that is it.

Oh yeah, I will put a couple pocket warmers in the bib and jacket pockets. I will also get those ThermaCare wraps to keep my back and shoulders warm because I have a tendency to tense up.

The main thing for me is to keep my feet warm and dry. Stay safe

I just got a sale paper in the mail from Cabela's for cold weather gear Oct 22 - Nov 8

This stuff looks nice and floats: http://www.strikerstore.com

Arctic Armor from Idigear. No layering required. Will keep you dry and very warm

Under Amour base, fleece pants, and Columbia rain pants over the fleece. Windproof fleece jacket..all I need in TX. I do have an Arctic Armor set that I wore in Oklahoma and MO and it is the cats meow in warmth and dry.

Stay away from cotton...that only holds the moisture.

Make sure you have room in your shoes or boots for your feet to move with heavy socks.

Keep your head and neck warm and you will stay warmer.

Make sure you're hydrated.

+1 to Guide Wear and 100mph suit for staying dry. Have not tried UA rainwear yet but I hear it's good

For staying warm -- comfortably warm -- definitely the UA stuff and also the mountain-crowd stuff (Icrebreaker, Smartwool, Patagonia) made out of merino wool is awesome. Merino keeps you warm, not too warm, not itchy and an amazing benefit also cuts down on BO!

I wear quality long underwear I got in Colorado top and bottom. Jeans and a polar fleece over that. BPS Pro Qualifier suit over that. Wool blend socks, insulated boots, gloves, and hand warmers in my pockets. I can't fish wearing gloves so I like to be able to stick my hands in for a quick warm-up.

I seldom wear anything other than a baseball cap and the Pro Qualifier hood on my head. Most times I don't even wear the hood.

Cabelas guidewear late season bibs and jacket you won't regret it. There gore tex 100% waterproof and insulated. I feel like I could go ice fishing and still be warm. Also need some heavy duty leggings and top.

duluth firehose pants lined with fleece are the bomb

What kind of footwear / boots to you all use. My issue most times is the boots I have are rather clumsy. Looking for suggestions.

My Mucks are very comfortable and warm with a pair of Simms wool wading socks

For the first two layers, dress like you'll be downhill skiing: Thin, double-layered first layer to trap air between layers, then a thin mock turtleneck design tightly woven polyester layer with a zipper in top/front. Put on a wool or flannel shirt over that and a good Gore Tex outer layer and you're set. In really cold or cold/windy conditions, you can add another layer and still not feel like a Michelin ad.

Anyone tried the motorcycle gloves that have the batteries ,and sensors in them.

they are pricey though

Let me save u some money. Go to Cabelas.com and go to the bargain cave and look at the insulated Guidewear suits. Sometimes you can get last years model for half what they normally are. Ask me how I know this.
