I have lived in the south a number of years, so I am unsure of what weights of base layers I need (i.e. lightweight, midweight, expedition) that time of year at Kathadin.
I was looking at buying a thermal weight capilene Patagonia top and a midweight capilene Patagonia top (both long sleeved), paired with a single lightweight bottom (likely just for sleeping). When the weather warmed up, I was planning on ditching the long sleeved tops and just holding on to a Smartwool 150 base layer tee shirt.
What weights of stuff do you all suggest for different sections, especially for the start?
Thanks!
