The old 3 button sweaters and polypro zip-necks were nice,but agree on all the other stuff. Sportsmansguide.com has some decent wool stuff on occasion;I've gotten some really nice cold weather socks and neck gaiters for cheap.
Still prefer my M-65's to the Goretex unless it's raining hard. All three of mine(green,woodland,desert) still fit.
