So many good alternatives out there. I’ll bet the Kelvin Lite over the 240 and a silkweight synthetic base would cover 90%. Add an Uber puffy for real cold glassing and a packable rain jacket (also works as additional wind block while glassing) and you’re 100%. Lots of other ways to go, but that works for me. Some use one less layer, but I’ve found those five are the most I ever need. I could leave the big puffy at home for earlier seasons, or possibly even a warmer than average CO 1st rifle.

My real wind blocker test is put the layer on over a thin synthetic t-shirt and ride my 4-wheeler the .5mi to the mailbox. When it’s about 30deg you find out real quick what blocks wind!
