you've got a point, I try to start off on the cool to cold side if I'm going to be hiking.

wool base layers are fairly new gear to me.

have always just worn my synthetics and if needed my rain gear over them.

I'm cold starting out, get chilled as I wait for the evaporative effect to take place when I stop, but then have dry gear to put on in my pack.

was always one of lifes mysteries to me, guys starting out hiking
like they were all geared up to sit and glass.

I'd rather spend a few uncomfortable moments at the beginning of my travel and the end than all day misery when out in the field.
