My understanding the weather can take drastic swings. We will be driving so should have space for adequate clothing and accessories. Curious to hear opinions on layers and what you absolutely need versus other optional pieces.

I have never hunted Colorado so here is what I already have access to:

Kuiu Attack and Guide pants
Merino base, mid layers and short sleeve shirts
A couple puffys
A few strong fleece pieces in various weights
I’m wanting to upgrade my rain gear would like opinions
Schnee Timberlines
Hoka Tor ultra high - super lightweight and fast, but only provides limited ankle support

Additionally, my 70 year old father will be hunting. And suggestions to make him more comfortable would be appreciated. I will be primary sherpa and secondary shooter.

Thanks for the help
 
Here’s my clothing for a normal 2d season rifle hunt:

Worn
Brimmed beanie
Gloves
LS base layer top
Wind jacket
Pants/belt
Socks
Boots

Pack
Puffy jacket/pants
Extra socks
Lvl 2 base layer top
Mittens for glassing

My baselayers, wind jacket and puffy jacket are all blaze orange as well.
 
Puffy pants can make glassing sessions way more tolerable.

My system is pretty close to Justin
