[QUOTE="CLP, post: 1883324, member: 75790"] I'll try and lay out my methodology for sheep hunting clothing as best I can. I look at my gear system in two phases. 1) I want light weight and quick drying materials for hiking (which you'll do a lot of, especially up north) and 2) I look at light weight insulation pieces that will keep me warm when I stop to glass, have lunch, first thing in the morning outside the tent, etc and also a bomb/water proof outer layer (your Arteryx would be perfect here). Typically when hiking, I'll wear a durable pant that has lots of vents to dump heat and can handle the rocks and such (i.e. Kuiu Attack, Beyond Clothing A5 or similar). On top I'll wear a T-Shirt and a light pullover. Limiting the amount of clothes you wear when hiking keeps the others dry when you really need them; when you stop. The last couple years I have utilized Beyond Clothing Base Layers and Pullover(s), Stone Glaciers Grumman Goose Down Pants and Jacket for insulation and either Kuiu Pro or Attack Pants and a Peloton 240 outer and that setup was fairly bulletproof for "my" characteristics. I also carry rain gear in my pack for when it rains. They claim most of it's breathable but I've yet to find one that didn't sweat me to death when I'm moving around. This year I plan to try and Krytek Altitude line up. I'm hoping once this virus situation absolves and they'll let us go outside that I can get some hours in it to see how it works for me. All that said, there are tons of options out there for what you're willing to spend on Arcteryx. Try and get something you like and feel confident in and then spend time in it so you know what to expect BEFORE you get on the hunt. [/QUOTE]
