What do you folks recommend for warm/fair weather, and for colder weather trips?

It may seem brusque or unhelpful to demand more information in order to answer what seems like a simple question, but you have to understand that forum members range in experience from newbie up to six decades, from weekend hikers to mountaineers who also hike.

We live in every part of the USA and a few are from Canada, Australia, Europe, or Asia. Some of us hike in parched deserts where a 90 degree day is moderate weather, while others hike in the snow in the Rockies in January.

What we think of as warm or cool, or even what a "backpacking trip" looks like varies across some wide extremes.

It would help immensely to know more about what you think these words mean.
