I guess you could say I'm fairly rookie. I've been on a few backpacking trips so far (usually just around 3 days), but next week I will be taking my first winter backpacking trip. I was wondering what people suggested as for how many/what layers to bring. I've got a nice north face jacket that's got a liner so that'll be my shell. I've also got an underarmor-like shirt which will be my wicking layer; I was wondering if you suggest bringing another layer for insulation or if the liner to my jacket will be enough.
As for bottoms, I was planning on wearing jeans and a underarmor-material pair of tights that I have (got them for running and they work great). I also was thinking of bringing a pair of pajama bottoms for even more insulation, but not really sure.
One last thing, I'm a hammock hanger and remember reading something about using a space blanket for further insulation and was wondering if anyone knows where that should be placed for the best effectiveness.
It's going to be around 38 degrees during the day, and getting down to like 20 at night so you know what to base your answer on. I'm going to Shenandoah.
Thanks!
