Going on my first late season elk hunt (first elk hunt for that matter) this November. I've got a couple Merino base layers, Kuiu Peloton 240 and Kuiu Guide DCS jacket. I'm a MN dude. I sweat a lot when I move, even at -10 degrees ice fishing.
So I'm trying to figure out what to do for a puffy, especially for glassing. I'm having a hard time fathoming that I would need a puffy while hiking. I've got a Kuiu Kenai. But it fits snug. So when you stop to glass for a while, do you pull your main jacket off and put your puffy on and then your outer jacket? Or do you have a larger puffy that can go over your outer jacket for when you're glassing and sitting? I'm considering getting a Super Down that's bigger to wear over the top.
Thoughts and experiences?
