Hi Jerry,
Everything you said about clothing for hunters is spot on. However, I think you did yourself a disservice by not including Wiggy's 2nd Layer Mesh top.
Worn over the Fishnet top, the 2nd Layer Mesh moves even more moisture away from your skin. Hard to quantify the added benefit, but it is significant.
All the best,
Pete
I forgot to mention the mesh top which is an excellent spacer to allow the movement of moisture while it is still a vapor to get away from your skin surface.
I am very appreciative of customers who help to remind me of the performance of the products we make at Wiggy’s.
A BIG THANK YOU TO PETE.

r value
What Does R-Value Mean?A higher R-value means that the insulation will do a better job of holding in conditioned air, whether that’s heat in the winter or cool air in the summer. It’s not about how much heat the insulation retains, but how slowly it allows heat to move through it. The slower, the better.Of all the insulating [...]
