So here's what I have for shirts/fleece/jackets, what should make the cut? Mid-April NOBO start FYI. I'm typically on the colder side warm. My baseweight is roughly 22 lbs, I'd like to keep things light, but it's definitely not my primary goal. I'll be carrying a cotton T and nylon shorts to sleep in.
Short Sleeve:
Wicking polypro t-shirt - definitely coming
icebreaker wool t-shirt (black)
Long:
EMS Silk-weight polypro long sleeve
EMS Mid-weight long sleeve polypro
Patagonia Cap 3 long sleeve
Marmot Stretchy Polar Tech Long sleeve fleece with 1/4 zip - tight fit Mountain Hardwear Fleece 1/4 zip - loose fit
Patagonia fleece - Full Zip, pretty standard fleece jacket
Marmot DriClime catalyst Jacket - full zip, mock neck (no hood)
Marmot Precip Jacket - definitely coming
For layering.. I'm thinking: silkweight, Cap 3, DriClime, and then Precip rain jacket. Yes? No? Maybe?
Any wool diehards that think it's awesome enough to take 2 hiking shirts?
Do you think looser better when it comes to adding layers? (3 baggy layers vs. 3 tight layers?) I'm also having an issue with the 1/4 zip vs. full zip thing. On past hikes I've gone out with my silkweight, midweight, 1/4 zip stretch fleece and precip but I also didn't own the rest of the items in the list.
