I know that Phil. requires seperate sleep clothes, and without getting into the whys of that, what did you take, and how did it work out? Im looking for a lightweight option (should go without saying) that will also be comfy :)

Oct 21, 2009 at 7:11 pm #1538610My sleep cloths were a 3oz pair of Terramar boxers that I kept packed in my 30 degree sleeping bag until bedtime.
My tent mate (the scout master) slept in his light weight long handles – top and bottoms. About 12oz
Neither of us got cold at night on our July Trek.
Oct 21, 2009 at 8:34 pm #1538637Used patagonia capilene long bottoms and long sleeve patagonia capilene top with extra pair of hiking socks I rotated with my other pairs. Finally a lightweight beanie. Used this same combination in 2007 and this year in June/July.
This gives you the option to use these if the temps should require any additional layers. Just don't use them around food!
Oct 23, 2009 at 6:44 am #1538996I took a crew to Philmont this summer. Sleeping clothes was not a requirement and in fact was never even discussed.

Oct 25, 2009 at 11:27 pm #1539716Thanks for backing up my decision. Expect to see a hypothetical gear list coming up shortly!

Jan 18, 2010 at 6:13 pm #1564010i use a base layer thermal pants and a tank top
Jan 30, 2010 at 7:36 pm #1568074Really you just need a spare light shirt to substitute for your sweaty one from hiking. If don't sleep with a shirt on, then just a fresh pair of boxers or something along those lines.
Jul 8, 2010 at 3:38 pm #1627348Primary consideration–no food smells.
Secondary consideration–no attractant smells.
Third–whatever makes you comfortable.
Remember–other clothes will be in pack, near fire ring, part of the "Bear-muda triangle". (Don't look at me, I didn't come up with the name!)
