[QUOTE="philny1, post: 182345, member: 7121"] [b]Layering Up[/b] First of all forget about cotton. Down is great, don't get it wet. Plan on hiking any great distance you will need a pack. On a AK sheep hunt last Sept we spent our time on horseback, hiking, climbing, sitting and glassing. First layer is a of wicking material readily available at Cabelas. Yes, silk works. I start with a t-shirt and shorts, depending on the temp maybe a second long sleeve mock or turtle neck. Long underware in a similiar material. Next a wool shirt, I beleive one layer of wool to be important, next a fleece or wool pull over or sweater. Over that a down or thinsulale light weight jacket w/hood. My outer layer was a uninsulated rain jacket w/hood, a good wind breaker. My pants were Gore-Tex brush type pant. My boots were uninsulated and I had a variety of socks. Gore-tex gloves. Head gear was just a base ball cap, but I had a watch cap and face mask in my pack This got me through a hunt--not real cold 20*s in the morning. We saw some snow, rain and some faily strong winds. When we tied off and started to climb I woud shed down to my fleece pullover or maybe my wool shirt. Then as our activity level changed back on they went. Constantly adding or sheding as needed. Colder weather add another layer or an insulated jacket for an uninsulated one. Always better to have an extra layer with you and not need it, than leave it in the tent. [/QUOTE]
