I have been whittling down my base weight all summer and now have been confronted with the harsh reality that it is getting cold here in TN Smokies. I have been very zealous in my quest to lighten up but in doing so have neglected the upcoming winter weather.

My setup for cool/cold weather is silkweight long underwear top, light weight microfleece top, Frogg Togg rainjacket for my upper and for my lower its silkweight long underwear bottom, nylon hiking pants, and frogg togg bottoms. I am starting to realize that this may not suffice as proper apparel for diddling around camp. I have typically gone straight to the sleeping bag if I get cold, but would rather get a recommendation on lightweight midlayer sweaters or some other systems others use to stay warmer so I don't end every winter night at sundown.
