If is is going to be long stop like when I get to camo or it is wet then I wear it underneath.


I'm same as the previous. If alternating still/moving for short periods of time still, it's not raining, and I want it off when moving, then I'll leave it on the outside for ease of removal. Any other time it's under the shell.
