I’d like to ask for advice on putting together the last pieces of my layering system. I hunt the mountain west and Great Basin states for mule deer, mainly September and October. Maybe November if I’m ever lucky enough to draw a rut tag.
I love the layers I’ve put together so far, they perform very well, and I’m looking to add a couple final pieces: down/insulation and an outer layer (rain and or windbreaker).
Here’s what I have so far:
Sitka ascent pant
Sitka mountain pant
Sitka heavyweight bottom base layer
Sitka crew lightweight long sleeve
Sitka heavyweight hoody
Sitka ambient hoody
King’s XKG transition flex jacket (going to sell)
I used all of the above except for the ambient on my September hunt, and stayed plenty warm and dry in the backcountry. However, if I were to encounter colder/wetter conditions in the future, I’d definitely need a warmer coat than the transition flex, and some kind of wind/water protection.
I should add that I’m open to any brand, and don’t care between camo or solid colors for the puffy, since that’s mainly worn when glassing only.
If you were in my shoes, what would you add to the system? Assuming the King’s jacket will go
