With just over a month until I start my thru I am starting to second guess my cold weather gear choices. This has been one of the coldest winters in several years in much of the south with several record lows making me wonder if I will be able to stay warm enough. Any how here's what I'm taking let me know what you think.
Baselayer: For hiking I've got the EMS techwick lightwieght, they weigh next to nothing and are excellent for wicking moisture. While at camp I will be using under armor cold gear which is some of the best cold weather baselayer I have ever used!!
Jackets: I will be taking Mountain Hardware windstopper tech fleece, this jacket is perfect for hiking down to about 25 degrees (at least for me) with my techwick baselayer. For camp I will bring my Mountain Hardware sub zero jackets. Althought it is over a pound I think the warmth it will provide me will be well worth carrying it. I've also got my arc teryx alpha sl pullover I can throw on if I get chilly while hiking.
Sleeping bag: marmot helium 15 degree with sea to summit thermal liner. They claim the liner adds 15 degrees of warmth, being that I just got the liner I havnt been able to test it. Has anyone heard anything about these liners?
I also have my balaclava and gloves.
I think that's about it, wada yall think? I'm also interested in what other people are taking to battle the elements.
