[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 2272036, member: 112246"] Many great comments and advice from seasoned hunters. I’d only say better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it…..so for that (your) situation I’d be wearing a thin mid weight high % merino base layer (especially if you sweat just packing your pack). Regardless of your sweat level, your middle layer needs to be Clean, light, loose, with higher level of loft. It MUST have many zippers available for cooling your body while walking/trekking. The outside layer should be exactly the same from a featured perspective point of view but be of greater weight and warmth. Just follow the COLD acronym. Clean, Overheating avoidance, loose layers and most importantly Dry. Use of the mid and outer layers should be able to keep the base layer dry. This is why your base layer needs to be of the highest quality And the other layers need to have many zippers. What material their made from is where the added (or less) weight and how they perform if wet. Ie; loft from synthetic or down filled become important. Everything is a trade off when it comes to weight and performance especially when sweating. just my 2c. [/QUOTE]
