Actually sounds like we're not too far off in technique, definately my hike in it clothing is about
as quick dry as yours, The main difference seeming to be I'm keeping a set of extra sleeping socks,
and set of long johns and merino as "dry wear". I too hike warm, and don't mind getting wet but
want at least the fleece or 2nd merino layer to hike in while wet to stay warm (if wet) while out
moving around - at least in the weather I deal with.


I haven't yet quite gotten brave enough to forgoe the long john layer and count on drying quick dry
stuff at night out before sleeping.
