merino wool

Yup once I learned how to layer with wool I very rarely use my heavy insulated bibs and jacket. It has to be windy and down in the 20's to bring those out. Most my hunting is done with a wicking base layer and a wool layer under my regular hunting clothes. Wool layer thickness depends on the temp. I also use a light weight puffy jacket that is made to be quiet.
 
What thickness do y'all get for 25-35 temps
Black ovis mid weight. With a light layer of 32degree heat underneath. As long as you're not walking up a mountain a long distance you should be fine, otherwise you'll roast if you're like me. If I'm walking up a steep mountain for a long distance I go in cold. I'll carry my wool in a zip lock and tie my outer layer to my pack.
 
What thickness do y'all get for 25-35 temps
I use First Lite Furnace at those temps. It is very warm and I do not wear it walking in because I will be sweating.

Of course temperature and if you are hot or cold is subjective. If you are one of those people that doesn't like the cold and is always cold you are going to be cold no matter what you do. A guy I hunt with is this way and once it gets cold he is in a box stand with a heater and won't hunt anywhere else.

Agree with the first lite furnace set and yes you'll sweat your rear off if you have an uphill walk or any distance at all. Somebody mentioned 32degrees lightweight base layer and I might try that under them or another lightweight set. It was 31 Saturday morning and I had the furnace top on, Sitka grinder zip T over that and then when I got in the stand put a windproof fleece pullover from natural gear on and never got cold. Had a jacket but didn't use it.
