We work things a little differently. I love to layer...but it all depends on the season. IN summer, I just want to have a couple of light layers, and once I start walking, I warm up. IF I really do get cold, I'll stop and get into a sleeping bag at night...

But that's summer in the Sierra. In winter, I've hiked stripped down to just a windshirt and pants in the snow...and didn't get cold. But the minute I stop, I start freezing, even if I am wearing every single dang layer I've got.

My wife hikes in full dress armor...and doesn't get warm. But when she stops, she doesn't get cold.

Go figure. We're all different!
