When I am hunting Montana in late Nov. early Dec. I carry two coats when I am tent/pickup camping. I start with a lighter coat for hiking to my glassing area then when I get there I switch jackets to my 050 which you said you already own. If it starts to get to warm while I am moving glassing areas I open the pit zips until I reach my destination. Sit on my pad and zip my coat up and enjoy the day. When I start down the hill I put my lighter coat on and head for camp. I wear base layers with a heavy quarter zip as my everyday gear and longs with heavy pants. Have not been cold yet even with temps down to -10.
