Clothing recommendation for Torres del Paine

Wool and synthetics dry fast, but I generally use synthetics for hiking in the winter, as I tend to have a hard time drying off while underway. I would go with the synthetic pieces for hiking stuff, and wool pieces for post-hike/camp situations.

Honestly, you can never have too many pairs of gloves in the winter. Choose a baselayer glove, then bring two or even three pairs so you can rotate wet gloves into your chest pockets for drying.

Max, March is actually the last month of Summer at Torres del Paine (TdP).

I haven’t been but my wife joined a BP trip on her way back from Antarctica and experienced some of the windiest conditions in her seven continents of traveling.

So I’d caution your about any dangly bits – cords, straps ends, drawstrings – that might wap you in the face or make lots of noise.  And consider that loose-fitting layers will flap around a lot so more elastic or a waistband of thin tent-pole bungie cord could minimize that.

The lightest vapor barriers (kitchen trash bags for your trunk and produce bags between your gloves/mittens) would do a lot to retain warm air near your skin.
