You would here, it can be 35 Degrees raining with 30 40 mph winds and that is darn cold but wet. I have a great Wool Pendleton western hat and it as you say thin and non bulky and it works OK until it gets soaked then it is wet and cold. I have looked at wool and two of my old elk hunting buddies wear it but they come in cold an wet, I prefer warm and dry. Like they say wool has been around for years and many love it. If I lived on the east side of WA I would use it most of the time as it is usually snow and cold. Great info on the two wool jackets, I did take a look for the future.
Thanks Mike
In those conditions wool with a super light packable rain suit would be incredible..
