Upon reaching my destination, I'll either switch out my usually soaked base layer with a dry one, add a lofted puffy, and an outer jacket. If it's really cold while glassing, I'll throw on two mid layers.....


Hope I'm not derailing the thread, but may I ask what size pack you use to accommodate all the clothes you carry?
