Hunting for eastern turkey in the next couple of weeks, combination of ambush and run & gun. Temps will range from 40-70. Ideally, I'd like a versatile mid layer that stays warm enough sitting at 40 degrees that I can keep wearing into the 50's-60's with light hiking before shedding it.
I don't wear a turkey vest so pocket space is limited, I usually head back to camp after the morning gobbler rush to drop the mid layer and re-up on coffee. I'd prefer to have a mid that won't roast me before then.
I wear a 150g merino base with a fleece and the FL leafy top over it- my current fleece is too hot, even sitting in 40 degrees with a mild breeze. I'm thinking the Kuiu Peleton 97 or Merino 200 or Sitka Midweight T might be the ticket here? What would you guys do here?
If it helps, I use Kuiu Attack pants with 150g merino base for this same use and it has been perfect for what I need- looking for the same level of warmth/breathability up top.
