Berghaus vapourlight hydroloft hoody over the base layer of your choice. My personal choice is an Arcteryx Phase SL for summer or Phase SV for cooler weather. Add a BMW Cocoon Hoody over the Berghaus Hoody for summer, or a WM Flight vest for cooler weather, with a Montane Minimus WPB Smock outer layer for all 3 seasons. Ex Officio boxer shorts under Montane Terra pants down below, with Montbell Dynamo wind pants for normal summer conditions or Golite Reed WPB pants for cooler weather. I’m good down to at least the mid 20s with the cooler weather set of options, down to about 30 or so with the summer options. If it gets colder, I just go to bed early. WM Summerlite bag with 2 oz of overfill, converted to a quilt with a bottom, Goosefeet down socks for all seasons, and Under Armour long johns, Cold Gear Base 1.0 or 2.0, depending on the season for around camp and sleeping(can also be worn while hiking if it gets colder than expected). Injinji toe socks, light weight for summer heavier weight for cooler weather.

Dec 22, 2016 at 12:37 am #3441454The most KISS list I can think of if I had to strip down the simplest terms
1: Any wicking synthetic long or short sleeve t-shirt
2: Black Diamond Co-effecient
3. Black Diamond Alpine Start
4: Arcteryx Atom LT
5: Â Any fully taped eVent, Neoshell, Gore-Tex , or Powershield Pro shell jacket.
Give me this combination and I would be good for all 4 seasons, hiking, touring, climbing, and skiing in temperatures sub-20 degrees.
