My first two layers are comprised of Patagonia Capilene underwear and a Patagonia Synchilla jacket. Depending on the weather, the Capilene underwear or long johns can be thin or thick. For skiing, my third layer is a Patagonia shell jacket and powderpants.

For hunting, I prefer a third layer that is quieter than a synthetic shell. My hunting pants are normally a cotton military surplus camo. My outer jacket is either a cotton military surplus camo shirt with an orange vest or a 60/40 orange rainshell that is 60% cotton and 40% polyester.

Since I hunt in Colorado, layering is needed for warmth. In the south, I would be tempted to hunt in simpler but quieter clothing and keep raingear in the backpack.
