Yesterday’s high was between +5C and +7C.\u00c2\u00a0 The wind was pretty minimal.\u00c2\u00a0 Patagonia Capilene 2 long bottoms under Marmot Hatteras nylon canvas pants were fine.\u00c2\u00a0 On top I had a Capilene 1 silkweight tee, a Capilene 3 quarter-zip long-sleeve, and R1 hoody.\u00c2\u00a0 That ranged from about right to too warm.\u00c2\u00a0 The zippers on both the long-sleeve and hoodie helped regulate the temperature.\u00c2\u00a0 It would be nice if there was a R1-weight piece with the lighter-weight micro-grid fabric on the entire back for use with a pack.\u00c2\u00a0 In the evening on the walk to dinner, I deleted the Capilene 3 long-sleeve since I’d be indoors for a long period and didn’t want to overheat.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a bit cold, as the temperatures dropped\u00c2\u00a0toward the\u00c2\u00a0evening low of +2C after the sun went down, and the wind came up to 5-10 m\/s.\u00c2\u00a0 It was fine for the short walk, but anything more would have been uncomfortable.\u00c2\u00a0 As a side note, the Capilene 3 long-sleeve doesn’t play well with the R1 fleece – their surfaces bind against each other, making it hard to put the R1 on without the baselayer sleeves getting all bunched up, or the fleece’s back getting hung up across the shoulders.<\/p>\n
Today was a little colder and a little winder, with temperatures sticking to +2C and winds in the 5-15 m\/s range.\u00c2\u00a0 I wore the same\u00c2\u00a0layers on the bottom, but switched to\u00c2\u00a0a Wild Things Tactical\u00c2\u00a0Low-Loft\u00c2\u00a0Primaloft (2-oz.) jacket over a Capilene 1 silkweight tee, and added a TAD Polartec Wind Pro fleece (8.5-oz.)\u00c2\u00a0beanie to keep the head warm in the lower temperatures.\u00c2\u00a0 That setup worked about right, though the forearms would have benefitted from a long-sleeve baselayer,\u00c2\u00a0as the Low-Loft jacket’s hybrid construction leaves the wrists and backs of the forearms with only uninsulated softshell material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
