    Companion forum thread to: Podcast 018 | SKILLS SHORT – Clothing Systems for Inclement Weather

    In this podcast, we discuss this: how does clothing system for 3/4 season, inclement conditions, differ from my summer backpacking clothing?

    Ryan….You mentioned that your Yukon Down Pullover; K Series jacket had overfill.

    Questions:

    How much over fill did you have placed in the jacket.

    Was it distributed throughout the jacket or ??

    1 oz, distributed evenly. Not sure that it’s necessary, the Yukon K is a well-filled product…

    “Activewear” products seem like the latest backpacking miracle – light, warm, very breathable – and expensive. Are they really that much better than fleece?

    No, they are just marginally better and often are worse.  It’s easy to get the wrong face fabric that kills the breathability.  But for the ones that do get it right, they are generally warmer for the weight and move moisture better. None are as durable as fleece.

    As i am located in Europe, I can not access some of the affiliated links (backcountry.com, GDPR).

    Can someone please let me know what trekking pants Ryan refers to as “4-way stretch-woven softshell pant” in 3+/4 season. Tkanks!

    Can’t open that link either but perhaps look at Mountain Equipment IBEX trousers @ £70/80 gbp https://pricespy.co.uk/clothing/outdoor-trousers/mountain-equipment-ibex-pants-mens–p3548469
