Hi,
I'm going to hike Walker's Haute Route in Swiss alps in July/August.
In valleys there maybe hot. In mountains there maybe very cold.
I'm searching for suggestions for clothes layering options. Thought of thermal tops and bottoms, fleece jacket, rain/wind pants & jacket. In addition I'll take my very light running nike dri-fit shirts and even lighter saucony t-shirt for valley walks. I want to find a really light options. Regarding rain pants/jacket, I consider Zpacks rain pants and jacket made of breathable cuben fiber. However this seems not cheap. I'd like to save some bucks if I find lightweight options of more common rain gear. Breathability is important.
I'm planning to pitch a tent next to huts on my way (with owner's permission of course). I think it is better to bring a quilt, because it is more versatile with the temperature range I'll have there. Which temp rating is appropriate, in your opinion?
Thank you!
Regards, Greg.
