[QUOTE="OLI62, post: 1545109, member: 29319"] I run a layering system very similar to your list. Purely personal preference but I was not a fan of the Super Down Ultra pants. Didn't seem all that warm to me when stationary and glassing in really cold weather. Got the Super Down Pro pants this year and have been much happier with them. The Super Down Pro jacket while better still didn't cut it for me when temps dropped below 30f. Bought the First Lite Chamberlain based on rec's I read on other web sites and it's been fantastic...$40 cheaper than the Kuiu too. If they made puffy pants in them I'd buy a pair tomorrow. Again, personal preference as I tend to run cold. Puffies are a stationary proposition to my mind as you aren't really going to do any serious hiking/climbing in them. Might as well get the warmest you can. And yes...for going heavier with these two items I'll eat the weight penalty if it means staying remotely comfortable. The 97's IME are excellent pieces especially with colder temps. When hiking around a lot they do tend to run warm but dry very quickly. I have the zip top as it seemed to vent better than the hoodie, but that's just me. All that said I agree with another poster that this is another area where First Lite's Aerowool excels. I don't know if this is the correct way to say it but to my mind they just seem to regulate fluctuations in body temperature better than a lot of other base layers I've tried - as in when moving or stationary. Good luck on your hunt! [/QUOTE]
