Hi All,
Finalizing choice of layers for an upcoming Wyoming backcountry cow elk hunt and wondering who else might be using their Chugach (or similar stretch rain jacket) as an outer layer instead of a soft shell when doing some hiking or movement in non-rain conditions?
Looks like real possibility of rain and snow in WY next week with temps in 20's-30's at night/am and 30's-50's during the days.
In a couple days of late winter backpacking it worked well for me during days in 30's/40's with wind, but my movement was very limited when I actually wore it. Just curious if anyone has actual experience of the Guide Jacket (my other option) or softshell allowing to wear it more easily without undue capture of sweat and moisture during hiking in colder temps?
Cheers,
Steve
