For my trip in October in the White Mountains, I'm beginning to wonder if my clothing system will be warm enough. What do you think:
Clothing Worn:
Ibex echo T
Champion running shorts
patagonia active boxer-brief
Darn Tough 1/4 cushion socks
orange hat (hunting season!)
Clothing Carried
Driducks dropstopper jacket (5.6 oz)
Montane featherlite windshirt (3.8 oz)
Montbell UL Thermawrap jacket (7.8 oz)
Sierra designs elevation rainpants (7.8 oz)
Patagonia wool 3 bottoms (7.8 oz)
fleece hat (haven't weighed yet)
OR gripper fleece gloves (2.7 oz)
MLD eVent rain mitts (1.1 oz)
For the daytime, I'm pretty sure the "clothing carried" will be just that, except maybe the gloves. In cold rain, the rain layers might come on for a while. However, early mornings and late evenings might get pretty chilly in the White Mountains.
Keeping in mind that I don't want to spend any money on new gear, does this sound like enough layers for early October in the White Mountains? I can add/replace a few things with less UL gear, such as:
LL Bean down jacket (24 oz, super warm)
smartwool midweight long sleeve shirt (8 oz, approx)
heavier mittens
heavier wool hat
heavier wool socks.
Any thoughts?
