Hey guys, 2015 Nobo in the making. Plan on starting mid-march. I need some help finishing off what I should get for clothing. Here's my accumulated list so far:
EMS Techwick 1 Long Underwear - Bottoms
EMS Techwick 1 Long Underwear - Top
2 Pairs Darn Tough Hiking Socks - Used for primary hiking socks in rotation
1 Pair Cabelas Wool Camp/Sleep Socks - A little bit thicker and looser to stay warmer and more comfortable at camp
2 Pairs of Exofficio Give-N-Go Boxers - One for hiking, one for sleeping/town/camp
EMS Techwick 1/4 Zip Long Sleeve - Primary Hiking Shirt (I prefer to hike in a long sleeve, If i get sick of it, I'll cut the sleeves off lol, 1/4 zip lets me vent nicely)
EMS Nylon Trekking Pants (NON-convertible) - Primary Hiking pants (I prefer to hike in pants 90% of the time, I do not like convertibles, the zippers really irritate me)
Nike Dri-Fit Running Shorts - Mesh Liner Cut out (maybe used for hiking, swimming, sleeping, camp, town, etc)
Marmot Mica Rainshell
Frogg Togg Rain Pants
Smartwool Cuffed Beanie
1 Pair Army Surplus Wool Glove Liners
Bandana
Buff
Tilley Hat
insulating layer - ?
extra synthetic t-shirt - ?
As of right now, there's there's only one thing I think I'm missing. An insulating layer. I can't decide whether or not on a jacket,vest, or hoodie. I want something versatile enough that I can take with me my whole trip. I also want to add an extra lightweight t-shirt. I feel I may love having it. So right now, I want to add one, may send it home if I find I don't need it.
What are you recommendations for an insulating layer with this set-up, and do you have any further advice on my clothing system?
