Anyone got SG Cirque and Cirque Light Jackets

[WVELK]

Here is what I am preparing for. I am going on a sheep hunt the first of September in BC, then a mountain goat hunt in BC in November. I HATE to be cold. One fellow Rockslide member recently educated me quite a bit on insulation.

I am trying to figure out if I should roll with the Cirque or the Cirque Light? In my mind, I have on a wool base then maybe the a SG Helo, then the Cirque or the C. Light, then a shell. Seems to me if I have the Cirque and am a little too hot, then it goes in the pack. If Cold while more stationary then it goes on. I do plan on carrying a down puffy too for when we are stationary for longer periods.

If you have both which do you go to most often an why?

Just what I wear for those hunts when being active, I wear only my base and my rain jacket with pit zips open. For me I get too hot and wouldn’t be wearing a synthetic jacket while moving. I would put on the puffy when sitting. I personally wouldn’t bring both a puffy and synthetic jacket.

It may help to see if it is going to be super wet vs more dry, to help determine which jacket to take.

If you’re taking a down static insulation layer, I’d consider the heavier cirque vest. Cirque light otherwise since it’s a tweener piece for your use.

I’d suggest taking a Sitka ambient 75 or 100 over your base layer.
