With regard to hat's I have three that I use as needed. My orange ball cap if I'm not wearing on my head is attached to the back of my pack to provide a little more orange. Otherwise if depending on temp, humidity and wind could be either a fleece watch type hat or my favorite which is an eddie bauer down baseball type hat with ear flaps.
Another thing with the heavy duty pack type boots I've noticed is that if they are too snug for heavy socks comfortably, your better off wearing a thinner sock and your feet will be warmer.
