man i wish i was rich :(

[justwired]

can you tell me apporx how many pounds ur willing to carry for your layering system bcause it seems heavy this seems more geared for expedition climbing vs alpine i mean ur the pro but im reading about guys climbing the whites in the dead of winter using a base layer/s, driclime wind shirt from marmot, as their wind layer a light insulation peice for added warmth (micropuff) or equal then there shell if needed then like a patagonia das parka this seems like it would weigh in at far less ..

How about socks, gloves, hats and boots?

Leg layers question - why do you not bring an insulating layer for your legs other than the soft shell?

Also, why does the puffy go over the hard shell? Don't you worry about it getting wet?

[OutdoorResearch]

@icychap With this layering system, your puffy is your warmest and outermost layer. If you are wearing your mid layers and your shell and are still cold in an alpine environment, it is probable that the outside temperature is below freezing. Which is that case, the precipitation may be in the form of snow. The loft jackets are all water resistant and resist a lot of frozen precip. In a case where it is just nasty wet outside, you may want to rearrange your layers to match the weather conditions.

Best layering video I've seen in a long while. Great advice on the leg coverings especially...which usually goes unexplained. Keep these up, theyre indispensible.
