Parka and bibs a must,wool socks and a turtle neck also.Always have hand warmers and if possible be facing the S so that NW wind doesn’t affect you as much
Layers, good moisture wicking base layer, insulating mid layer and then a wind blocking outer layer. I wear bibs and a parka when it gets cold.
Under Armor cold gear base layer 4.0 worked well for me last year in Colorado, have it packed again for this years trip.
Layers. And carry your outer layers in to be put on once you arrive and catch your breath. Face mask and warm hat make a huge difference when it gets cold, esp. with wind. Glomitts and even hand warmers if it's real cold
Look for some old Artic Sheild ....I cannot stand to be cold.

As mentioned above, LAYERS! And don’t put on your outer layers while you’re walking to the stand or you’ll sweat too much and then all the layers in the world won’t make a difference.
I wear under Armour and moisture wicking socks for the base layer, then an insulating later over top like duofolds, then a 1/4 zip fleece. When I get to the stand I put on my bibs, coat, neck gaiter, beanie, and wool socks. Sometimes you can get away with wearing the bibs while walking in, but definitely save the coat, socks, and hat for when you get on stand. I also wear a thin pair of gloves for the walk in, and then put on the warmer gloves in the stand.

Under armor cold gear base layers. I also have Cabela’s MT050 parka and bibs and they are more than worth the money.

Agreed. The UA stuff I tried only worked when I was moving. If you are sitting still it feels like it freezes me!
Never liked the UA, dont like tight fitting cloths.
Polar-tec base layer works and keeps me warmer than UA. Dont forget the socks also. Sportsman guide has the best pricing. Used to be able to buy the top and bottoms for $25. Well not this year. Dress before you walk to the stand. Dont try to drive wearing this stuff.
UA base layers are a must and excellent wool socks and hand warmers also.
Sitka Fanatic series. I have the jacket and love it. Best piece of hunting gear ever made.
Box stand
.
layers are the best and like wool but if it gets real cold down works
