Headed out next Monday, just finalizing what we'll bring for 5 days. Any thoughts? Debating on bring either a 100wt fleece or light synthetic puffy\fleece hybrid jacket. Leaning towards the hybrid jacket.

Worn:
-synthetic hiking pants
-synthetic long sleeve shirt
-merino wool boxers
-merino wool socks
-Tilley hat
-quick drying hiking shoes

Packed:
-200 weight merino wool baselayers (top and bottom) primarily for sleeping but could always throw on if I get cold enough
-2-3 pairs of merino wool socks
-either fleece or synthetic jacket (deciding between 100wt fleece or Atom LT)
-Wind jacket
-Rain jacket and pants
-hat (merino) and gloves (fleece or merino)?
-slip on sandals for around camp

With forcasted day time temps mostly in the 70's next week I hope you are bringing some warm weather cloths too. Looks like you will be having some very nice weather. Have a great time!

The long sleeve shirt will likely be Patagonia Capilene Lightweight, probably the lightest long sleeve shirt made. I like wearing long sleeve as I hate bringing sunscreen lotion. The pants also roll up like so it'd be like wearing capris, lol.

Debating bringing a short sleeve shirt as well.

I know synthetics have really taken the market. But I always bring a ragg wool sweater- bulky and heavy- but warm as heck if need be. That, with a good rain jacket essentially makes a winter coat. I primarily bring it for emergency situations, if gear gets dunked or what not. I understand wool sweaters aren't for everyone though. I also bring a Pendleton wool button up long sleeve shirt. Good "around camp" shirt- don't think I would paddle in it.

The wind jacket and rain jacket seem a bit much? Wouldn't the rain jacket cover both? Or is the wind jacket one of those soft shell jackets with wind guard in it?

For gloves- I like fingerless wool gloves- can get really cheap through military surplus stores- I also have a fewer "nicer" pairs from various stores. Keep your hands warm even when wet. Leather gloves for around camp, handling hot stoves, fires, plus will keep the bit of the cold off if the temps drop. Can double the fingerless wool over the leather gloves if need be. That is my November grouse hunting set up and it works wonders.

Finally- I always throw in a pair of swim shorts. Will you be swimming? Unlikekly- but if you do- you have shorts and swim trunks in one- and doesn't add much bulk. I guess you can always lounge around in your boxers if it gets too warm.

We are headed somewhere the following week and was just starting to pack last night. I will be following this thread for any others input

I like wool as well and pretty much abandoned synthetic fleece and undergarment for wool. Several years ago I found that cashmere sweaters are even better. Much lighter than sheep's wool and not itchy. Patagonia put out a line of cashmere and cashmere blend, but I think the higher price did not make it successful (kinda ironic for "Patagucci"). I bought 2 sweaters, light-weight crew and mid-weight quarter-zip at their end-of-season sale. I used these for skiing and cool weather paddling/hiking. Surprisingly durable! I'm sure there are some well made cashmere 2-ply sweaters out there that will perform just as well. For long underwear I really like Smart Wool. Not cashmere, but warm, light and durable.

You'll be fine with what you have.

Wouldn't your rain jacket double as a wind jacket?

I will be heading in the following week and my clothing list is very similar. I use nylon canvas pants over synthetic. They are more durable and dry very quickly. I also use a hooded Sherpa fleece and with a windbreaker can be comfortable into the low 30's. Layers is the key. I also have one top/bottom winter jogging suit with wool gloves and hat as backup in case the other set gets wet. Nothing worse than wet and cold at bed time. I will also watch the weather daily in an attempt to anticipate the patterns. I also will be watching for a fire ban as a warm fire is pretty nice on a chilly night and may make some adjustments at the last minute.
Have a great trip.

As posted watching the weather it is looking pretty wet for the next ten days. I am double checking that I will have one dry set of warm gear for evenings and day gear to be out in the rain. Glad I put a seam seal on the tarp.
Krole, it looks like you will be a bit warmer but still wet so upgrading the camp footwear and having a back up set of long pants to wear since at least one pair will be wet and more socks as they will get wet, too, are changes I am making. And finally some wet bags to carry wet gear when you are traveling. I am also upgrading my hat to something more durable and likely to shed the rain.
And have a great trip.

Leaving in the morning. I’ll probably switch out the merino long underwear for merino boxers and T-shirt and use that as dry sleep clothes unless the forecast changes last minute. I’m fine with wet pants they dry pretty quick, but bringing rain pants in case I get cold and it’s raining. I’m dedicating one pair of socks for sleep, one for wet usage during the day and another for at camp if not raining. If it’s raining at camp I’ll just keep my shoes and wet socks on.

I have my gear in a couple trash compactor bags, important stuff is double bagged. I figure wet gear I’ll just keep in my pack outside of the trash bag.

Have a good trip as well.
