How much weight in clothing do you normally carry for 3 seasons, shoulder season, winter?
I am always getting hung up on too much clothing. I'm planning a central coast trip in January. My clothes list (besides the clothes I wear 100% of the time) is:
fleece vest – 8.7 oz
down jacket – 12 oz
patagonia houdini – 4 oz
driducks jacket – 4 oz
beanie, sleep socks, gloves – 5 oz-ish
wool base layer (mostly as something dry/clean to change into) – 5.8 oz
fleece lined tights – 9 oz
This is basically a light shoulder season kit, prepared to handle upper elevations on the coast in winter.
we will be walking up a canyon, which means getting wet with the slight chance of a quick swim, so the fleece vest is a safety item for warming up when wet.
Totally weight of clothes will probably be under 3lbs
Last summer in the sierras I carried the down jacket, fleece lined tights, wool base layer, houdini, spare socks, and beanie.
Is this too much?
