I have a 3 month old baby and he's been backpacking 3 times. I am happy with my nursing tanks, and my warm down parka. However, I need something in between that allows for minimal air exposure. The half zips in base layers are not deep enough, and I can't find any lightweight full zips. Recommendations?
Temperatures in Northern California this spring/summer won't get below 40 or so.
May 22, 2013 at 8:15 pm #1988903Does it have to be a zip? Why not a buttoned shirt?
Like:

or

just for examples.

Cheers

He could dress em up to look like breast pockets.
May 22, 2013 at 10:26 pm #1988941Um, what exactly are "nursing tanks?"

They have an elastic neck and shoulders so they are easy to pull down.I tried this on today and it is what I'm looking for but it is very expensive:

Lightweight, hoodie, thumploops, deep zip for easy access.I like both the cycling jersey and buttondown recommendation, thank you!!
May 23, 2013 at 7:02 pm #1989277Lol i thought 'nursing tanks' was code for boobs.
May 23, 2013 at 8:12 pm #1989297The Columbia women's Super Tamiami long sleeve shirt (linked to above) has snaps, not buttons.
Congratulations on the new baby!
