[QUOTE="ELKAHOLIC247, post: 2308927, member: 119743"] Been on several DIY packing into Idaho, Montana, Wyoming just to list a few hunts with horses for decades, several zero to below. When packing in by horse or backpack you typically have on set of clothes and a change of undies and socks.Lessons that I have learned over time is don't forget the basics such as wool and down. 2020 Montana Elk hunt was minus 17 with fierce wind ( no idea what the wind chill factor was) @ 9000 ft elevation.I use kenetrek 1000 gram boots, merino wool socks, under-armour base layer, merino wool over the under-armour, down jacket, heavy wool pants, wool coat, full head covering including neck and prefer gomlit type gloves with a quality liner under thus allowing ready finger dexterity. With that said there are high quality products by Sitka and Kuiu that are extremely light with outstanding features for the outdoorsman. Recommend visiting their web sites and check out their products and diffinetly read the product reviews. Beware of the products claiming to be waterproof, wind proof or scent masking as all too often they are noisy, bulky, heavy or don't breathe as advertised causing for profusely sweating leading to a cold hunt.
