What are the actual complete layering systems folks are packing for 4-5 days in the Rockies in October?
Silk weight/lightweight base layer top and bottom (Capaline, this year Aerowoll)
Light to midweight fleece hoody (Arctyrx Fortrez Hoody)
Outer breathable pant (FL Kanab, Kuhl, etc)
Puffy jacket and pants (Kifaru Lost Park Parka, and Beyond midweight puff pants)
Wind Shirt thatnis water resistant unless heavy rain showers are likely, then a Goretex/etc top and bottom sized to fit over everything

The base system really doesn't change. If I will be moving lots in the 30's or less than a puffy with Polartec Alpha is thrown in. The temp determines what weight/fill the puff pants and top are. Multiple layers of fleece, merino, etc don't add up from a warmth and weight ratio versus just getting a warmer puffy.
