If this were available as a vest, I'd keep it with me any time I went outside. The fit is perfect for me to layer over anything up to a thermal weight capilene, which is exactly how I want it, but that means the sleeves are not baggy and don't vent at all when opening up the coat. Down in Oregon I am not getting much use out of it as it's just too warm. I wouldn't bring it on a through hike, but it was my go to for winter days hiking around in the mountains when I went home to Alaska. I too use the r2 techface, and it is fantastic. Wish I could hike that damn trail every year. Washing would probably help more but I didn't want to deal with that. Throw your quilt in the dryer often towards the end if you can, even without tennis balls. A large part of this is probably because I'd lost 35lbs and my quilt didn't do well with all the condensation. Wore my fleece pretty much continuously the last couple days and usually wore all my layers to bed. Puffy+Fleece+Baselayer+Shell: I only started Washington mid August so I caught some pretty bad weather at the end there. Norcal+Oregon: Fleece + Shell: Too hot to ever wear a puffy but fleece was nice for early morning walks at higher elevations. Sierra's: Puffy + Shell + Base layer: Base layer was nice for a little active warmth in the mornings underneath my shirt and shell. I usually hung out a little bit in the evenings so the puffy was nice. 5/10 start dateĭesert: Puffy + Shell (could easily do houdini instead if you trust the weather): Hiking at 5:00am was always a little brisk so the rain shell would come out for 30-40 minutes before i put it away until the next morning. I run average while moving, and cold when stopped so adjust as necessary. I wholeheartedly recommend my layering system and never once felt like I didn't have the right clothes for the situation. I feel like climbing is a much more start and stop activity than hiking and so you can get away with less active insulation while hiking. Would be a really nicer layer for Washington unless you're done by Late August. I think the R1 would be overkill for active warmth for 90% of the trail unless you like hiking suuuuuuper early everday. If you do decide to bring dedicated active warmth, a wind jacket would be really clutch in the desert but definitely not necessary. You're not starting too early so quite honestly you could rely on your rain shell for active warmth in the desert, it's really really dry so sweating out into it isn't too much of an issue. I also think it'd be too hot for most active use, and too cold for most static use. r/Hammocks, /r/HammockCamping, and /r/ULHammockingĪtom LT + Houdini doesn't make sense to me since the Atom is pretty windproof.
