    Critique my layers

    I think that is a great lineup. I second everyone else about getting a puffy. I am not an expert when it comes to puffy's but I found this video from Mindful Hunter very helpful. I ended up purchasing a Sitka Kelvin Aerolite on sale after watching. I'll keep my Nano Puff for daily use now.

    Does anyone have this and the FL Origin? Both seem to be fleece midlayer with the Origin being a bit more durable and the Challis being more windproof. Can anyone provide their experience? Thanks!

    Layering System for a western hunting newbie

    Appreciate all the feedback so far. I ended up purchasing a Sitka Ambient jacket (40% right now!!) to throw in the mix. I'm thinking for upper layers I go with Wick crew, kiln 1/4 zip, Ambient Jacket, Nano Puff, and Dew Point. All 3 of those jackets are super packable.
