[QUOTE="mpk1996, post: 1409107, member: 27656"] as others have said, you want to layer. I would NOT get anything to heavy, like a parka. you will be carrying that as you move, and only wearing it when you stop. look at some of the puffy style jackets from kuiu or sitka. or really even some of the regular camping/hiking ones. if you have a light shell that's camo, these light puffys can be warn under when you stop. tons of sales on "last years" colors and styles that will work just awesome. you will have to figure out how fast you walk, what the terrain is, and how much heat you build. I know I build a lot of heat. I can wear a light long sleeve shirt (usually someones "base layer") when its very cold (20 or so) if I have a pack and am walking up hill. so I want light weight stuff so I'm humping the lightest pack I can. I went with the kuiu stuff and their puffy (both jacket and pants) and the attack pants, chinook jacket, and Chugach NX rain gear. it was the perfect combo of lightweight for the performance. sitka and others have good gear too. just depends on how much you want to spend [/QUOTE]
