Interesting and very informative discussion.

A question about the layering system some people are using. I have some FL pieces and some Kuiu pieces, but as others have stated, I don't think I am using them as a system correctly. I understand the synthetic layer when using body heat to dry out. My question concerns the mid weight. Are you saying fleece, like the Sitka Fanatic, is better than a merino wool layer, like the Kuiu Ultra Merino or the FL llano? If so, what properties does the fleece have that the merino wool does not?

I like my Kuiu Guide Jacket so hopefully I can still use it in my layering system.

thanks
