Sorry in advance if this has been answered but I searched the forum with no luck. I've finally started upgrading my layering system and am looking for some advice on an upper body mid-layer. I hunt primarily MD public lands (whitetail archery), where the season runs through Jan.
My current setup:
Top: FL Aerowool Wick
FL Furnance quarter Zip
ScentBlocker Apex Jacket (100% windproof, 100% waterproof, made of polyester its not insulated but i stay pretty warm in it)
Bottom: FL Aerowool Wick Bottoms
FL Furnance Bottoms
FL Corrugate Guide pants
FL Solitude bibs
Other: Various FL socks & Balaclava
I've been leaning towards a super heavy mid-layer so that i have a wider range of use as opposed to buying a brand new late season insulated jacket. Especially because I really like the Apex jacket and have been ok in single digit temps in the past (i've just been wearing a ton of inefficient layers (hoodies, long sleeve t's etc.) I get 30% off FL gear, and was looking into a down jacket but worry the Brooks wouldn't be warm enough and don't think the uncompaghre would fit under my Apex jacket.
Long story short, any recommendations for a super warm mid-layer to add to my top system or should I just go with a more insulated outer layer (solitude or sanctuary jacket).
Thanks
