Rethinking layers...

[Jpsmith1]

So, y'all kind of rocked me with the CLO factor of various pieces of gear and now I'm kind of reevaluating everything I 'knew' including how I use my layers.

Super basic question.

Moderate hike in on a cold day.

Yeah, start cold and all, I get that. I do that.

At your stand/glassing point do you:

A. Layer up immediately to trap and preserve the heat you've built up?

B. Allow yourself to cool, layering up as you shed heat?

I've been letting myself cool and kind of layering up slowly over 15-30 minutes but now I'm wondering if I'm not better off layering up immediately.

I always want to layer right away, but wait until I’ve done a quick scan of the area I’m glassing to make sure I don’t need to move to get a shot.
