Hi I am new to the site and typically hunt whitetail and turkey in PA. I am Planning to go backcountry elk hunting with some friends in Wyoming first season rifle 2025. I have some of the gear needed already… Exo 4800 pack, first lite base layers, sitka mountain pants. My question is this what is a good layering system for western elk hunting?
I own various FL pieces and Sitka pieces ( stratus jacket, fanatic jacket, solitude bibs, FL furnace base layers, FL midweight hoodie and Boot top bottoms. but they are mainly for treestand/ whitetail hunting.
Without breaking the bank too much what is a good system to run? I was planning on running the FL wick baselayers, with a mid weight merino layer next followed by mountain pants for the outer bottom layer and was wondering what a good outer top layer would be. I have the New jet stream jacket but it’s rather light and I would like to get a puffy jacket such as the kelvin down or a puffy vest to layer over top of a light jacket. I’m Looking to buy the boots later this year, probably schnees bear tooth and the Sitka when it goes on sale. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.
