Hello all. Ive been lurking around trying to crack the Sitka layering code to no avail. Therefore I ask you extremely knowledgeable folks for a little advice. I have been bitten by the elk hunting bug and am obsessed with planning the first of several trips to Colorado hopefully starting first rifle season 2020. I have been building up my gear in anticipation of the hunt, but Im a bit hung up on clothing. I was hoping to get some help picking a clothing system. Keep in mind, this will probably be a backpack hunt, so weight is a big concern. However I tend to run a little cold so a couple extra pounds to guarantee I stay warm is ok with me.
Below is the gear I already have:
Base Layer Tops:
Sitka Core Lightweight Crew
Sitka Core Mediumweight Zip T
Sitka Core Heavyweight Hoody
Base Layer Bottoms:
Smartwool Lightweight Merino (7.6oz)
Under Armour Base 3.0 (8.2oz)
Under Armour Base 4.0 (7.9oz)
Insulation Layer:
Marmot 800 Fill Down Jacket (17oz)
Kuiu Super Down Ultra Hooded 850 fill Jacket (8.2oz)
Pants:
Sitka Timberline
Prana Stretch Zion
Outer Layers:
Sitka Jetstream Jacket
Golite Tumalo 2.5L Pertex Rain Jacket (11.2oz)
Golite Tumalo 2.5L Pertex Rain Pants (9.6oz)
What you take and what you leave behind for the high country of CO in late October? I love the Jetstream jacket and would like to incorporate it, but it is heavy and would only want to take it if it were worn all the time. Im not sure if its too warm to hike in. I appreciate any help!
