Hello all! I am hunting in the midwest (Northern Missouri). You never know what the temps will be here it could be 50 in November or 10... Last year it was pretty cold so I am preparing for that. Here is what I have so far and looking for some recommendations. Base layer: Lightweight Merino boxers, lightweight merino long johns and lightweight merino long sleeve Mid layer: Heavyweight Merino zip up for a shirt and 600 fill weight scent lock pants. Insulation layer: Cabela's 600 fill weight Puffy jacket Socks: Midweight merino socks Boots: Mucks Wetland Hat: Merino beanie Looking to add some good bibs and a shell possibly. What would you add or take away from this?
Lose the lightweight merino layer and just wear the heavyweight next to skin. Wearing too many base layers is redundant and having the lighter weight layer underneath the heavyweight defeats the purpose of having a base layer. It just creates more air space between you and the layer allowing greater air flow, decreasing body temp faster.
