Base layer and on body accessories
View attachment 675075
Base layer- Aclima Woolnet top and bottom. I use netted base layers nearly 100% of the time now. The best performing base layers on the market, the wool version dries as quickly as thin synthetic and has all the other qualities of wool.
T-shirt- either a merino/synthetic blend from Duckworth or a blend synthetic from Scheels.
Socks- injinji Toe sock liners. Over top is Mongolian camel wool or Yak wool socks. Legitimately better in every regard of performance than merino. I carry and use when required a pair of waterproof socks.
Shoes/boots- Almost 100% of my use is with Vivo Barefoot Tracker Forest ESC’s. The next most used is Inov-8 Roclites of various models. Everything I wear is a flexible and minimal shoe.
Scarf- Is a cotton shemagh.
Toboggan- Two that I use- both are hand knit wool versions.
Gaiters- Fjallraven waxed G1000 canvas.
Gloves- Standard deer skin or thin cow leather work gloves, or Hestra Deerskin Wool Tricot gloves for most uses. Hestra Wakayama leather gloves with wool liner for cold.
Almost nothing listed here will change. In really cold weather and deep snow I will wear Mukluks, and potentially add a thicker base layer if I will be stationary. Gloves or mittens might change depending on conditions or actively. But, overall 20 years of constant searching and experimenting has lead to these categories, if not the exact items.
problems? The first Ranger was so good I had to get another. Then the cardigan came out. Have you even read the description? You can go from the marsh to the office man?
