Sierra Clothing Choices

Looks good to me, but if you run warm I’m a little worried about myself now! I’m doing the HST to Whitney at the end of July and I’m bringing similar items: MB Ex Lite Anorak, Tachyon wind jacket and pants, a poncho, and some Smartwool 250 BLs. I’ll be wearing OR Ferrosi convertible pants and a longsleeve icebreaker hoodie. Still contemplating a rain jacket. I think if I were going in September, I’d bring much warmer layers, but I run very cold.

Thanks for responding, Bri. What extra layers would you bring in September?

I’m pretty confident about the July setup but I’m not sure quite what to expect in September. I’ll only be out for a few days and not that far from the trailhead if I misjudge but I’d rather not have to cut my trip short because of inadequate clothing choices.

I think you’re good for July.  You could change out your long sleeve long john T for the fleece in September for very little weight gain if you are concerned about being warm enough in camp.  I think you’re good either way though.

Yeah agreed on the L/S Tee to Fleece swap. The fleece weighs about an ounce more. That’s probably a good call.

Your gear list looks more than adequate. If you get cold easily then a very light fleece might be worth bringing as a safety item for active use in storms, but generally not necessary.
