- I need some recommendations for clothing while hiking in cool/cold/chilly
- weather. I find that I warm up quite a bit soon after I start walking and
- it becomes uncomfortable to keep the same clothes on. On the other hand, the
- moment I stop for a break, within 10 min or so, I get chilled to the bone!
-
- What do you wear when it gets cold? Also, wearing all this bulky layering
- clothing is not comfortable, and restricts movement. What happens if it is
- raining? This is the Pacific NW, and everything you read about the rains
- here is true :-)
-
- Anyone who has suggestions on what to wear, and what works for them, please
- tell me?
