I've been going back and forth on what layers to bring for a late May start NOBO.
Is a full on waterproof jacket necessary? I'm expecting lots of rain but I'm thinking a jacket is unnecessary because it will be so warm and humid. I am planning on bringing my Patagonia Houdini but that's an ultralight water resistant wind jacket. Maybe a poncho?
What about a puffy? Again, I'm thinking unnecessary. I'm also considering getting a light puffy vest so I'll have something.
Also, planning to pick up a puffy and waterproof rain jacket once I get to the 4,000 footers in New England in July.
TIA!
