What's the temp range for the Chama or similar as a standalone layer? Would it be ok for early season bear or would I be too hot?

Going into my second year hunting and expanding my kit. I have camo rain gear, a camo wool vest, and solid black long underwear. I am wanting to add a camo top base layer so I can have it, a vest, and rain gear. Because I have long underwear for when it's cold that I can layer under whatever camo top I get, I want to make sure I get the right weight.

I'm thinking the Chama or something similar weight as a base layer when it's warm would be the most versatile. I could add long underwear under when it gets colder, and/or the vest when it's even colder yet.

Is the chama a good single piece weight?

I wear it in the 70's with a short sleeve shirt underneath and am fine.
 
The Chama hoody is the most versatile piece of clothing I own. Highly recommended.

Only negative on the Chama is if you sweat it out it will take a while longer to dry than a thinner merino layer or comparable synthetic. From November on I wear the Chama all day every day I'm in the field but before that I like a lighter merino base with a synthetic mid layer on top of that if needed. It is definitely super versatile in that it's ok for warm weather and great in cold whereas a light merino base is really just for warm weather. Get the hoody and you're looking at one really versatile piece of kit.
