I wear fleece PJ's on the couch.

I wore lightweight fleece ungarments, a Microtex shirt, 4-way stretch DWR finish pants, and a Rivers West waterproof fleece jacket when I took my deer @ 8500' in WY a month ago. Back to MT for another deer in a couple of weeks, not sure what I'll wear yet, probably depend upon the weather.

Enjoy your breeks, beret, and sport coat you hardcore hiker you.

Thanks for "coming out", tough guy. Parking spot 200 yards away at 8400 or was it 8450 feet? Alrighty, then.

"Ungarments"?? ...sounds pretty gaaay.

Midweight poly thermals under Wrangler Thinsulate jeans and a wind/waterproof pant over that....... I'm using a 20 year old pair of Walls Weather Pruf. That'll keep you good to well below zero.

No cotton underbritches. Some sort of athletic compression briefs are good.

Merino leggings + First Lite Kanabs + Mountain Hardwear Yumalinos.

The Yumalinos are fleece lined with a stretchy nylon shell. I got them a size larger than I normally wear and use suspenders to keep them up. I need to take them and have leg zippers added to make it easier to get over my boots. They pack down pretty small too.

So I can go from a early morning cold “sit” to afternoon hike with the pant legs on the Kanabs rolled up like shorts.

Works so far.
