I'm cheap. I bought the Walmart wind/water proof breathable scent control pants and jacket. I paid just under $80 for the set. They are fleece-like on the outside so they make absolutely no noise. So far crawling around the thick Virginia woods they have not ripped or been hung up on anything. They have kept me warm on 30 deg mornings.

I've heard good things about the Heater Body Suit, but its pricey.
I'm currently running with Bass Pro's Mountain Stalker Bibs and jacket that I put over a wooly pulley and a pair of fleece pants, which go over merino a wool base layer, top and bottoms.
The most economical option is to buy something windproof, and then go and buy an M65 jacket liner and pants liner. Its the poor man's micropuff. Last year when we had the bad snowstorm I wound up having to wear the pants liner under my mountain stalker gear to stay warm. I hope we don't get an ice storm like that this year!

I wear Patagonia expedition weight Capilene for a base layer. They started making this stuff before UA was even an idea, it is what folks who climb big mountains, or trek across Antarctica wear. http://www.patagonia.com/us/shop/mens-baselayer?k=1D-6M
For an outer layer, I wear Arctic Shield H4 jacket and pants.

I started using Kryptek last year and their Vellus line is a wind proof fleece, kept me toasty warm when the temps were around 20 degrees.
Plus its a veteran owned company.
