Last year during 3rd rifle I was glassing a ridgeline and the temps were around 28 degrees, there was also a strong wind coming over the ridge. It started to do this half rain/ snow that instantly froze on any cold surface it touched such as the glass on your binos.
I was wearing the kuiu bigger down jacket and one of their shells and got extremely, extremely cold. I was lethargic for about 2 days after in a way I hadn't felt before.
So this year I want to remedy this. When I'm moving I usually end up in my base layer but once I sit down to glass and gradually start putting layers back on, the puffy jacket with a shell just isn't cutting it. Its like eastern stand hunting except with ridgeline winds.
What can I bring along to solve this? A few thoughts Ive had:
1. Get a kifaru woobie- I could throw this over me when I sat down to glass, however, I would think that when you brought out your optics it would open it up and you would lose your warmth.
2. Kifaro Lost Park Parka- I actually bought one of these and I could throw it over my puffy but I cant get a shell over it. Its not waterproof so in the instance last year I would have got drenched
3. Get a full on Canada Goose Parka and haul It with me and put it on when I'm glassing
Anyone found a solution for this or tried any of the above?
