Clothing Question for Collegiate Loop

Bump.

My top layers for hiking here in the Rockies in the summer:

Baselayer:  OR Echo l/s zip neck or Patagonia lightweight capilene l/s zip neck. These are comfortable even when hot.

Mid or outer layer: Patagonia thermal weight capilene hoody, if colder and wet forecast a 100 wt. fleece. I carry both usually and use one or both as sleep clothes. I tend to be cold after a long day, no matter the temp.

Usually a Houdini wind shirt and always a hard shell plus down hooded puffy.

A little south of the loop but for the San Juans In July and August

Base/hiking – Stoic Alpine Merino 150 Bliss shirt LS – Insect Shield

mid hiking – Stormtech SFP-1 1/4 zip Fleese Top LG

at camp – GoLite Selkirk Ultralight Down

no hoodies for me, beanie and ear muff

sleeping either –  IBEX Woolies 150 or REI silkweight

Houdini wind shirt and frog toggs rain

For my Colorado July/Aug trips I have just gone with a Ibex Zip-T 150 weight short sleeve shirt and an Arc’teryx Squamish jacket for my top layers. I carried my Zpacks Poncho/Ground Sheet for rain. Make sure your active top layers play well with your rain gear, July/Aug is monsoon season in the mountains, it will rain some every day.

I appreciate the replies.  Sounds like a midweight Indie is a little much.  I do have some 150 wt. Icebreakers in the closet but they are LS.  Also, the OR option is interesting, I was unaware of that piece.

I do NOT like using a rain jacket in place of a wind jacket, so I’ll bring my Houdini AND my Luke’s Ultralite Jacket….roughly 7 oz. for the pair.
