Random tip: Uniqlo is an usual but excellent source for inexpensive hiking/backpacking/lightweight travel clothes. In particular: the UL down jackets/parkas (~9.5oz in size M), HeatTech Extra Warm baselayers, Airism underwear, wind jacket, and socks/gloves. You see a ton of this stuff out on any long distance trail (it’s high quality enough to last an entire thru-hike and beyond).
Once you put on the HeatTech extra warm leggings, you’ll understand why superheroes wear tights—they’re the bomb.
Heat-tech and airism are both incredibly legit base layers. Heat tech is my favorite piece of clothing for New England winters and winter treks. The ultra light down jackets and weather proof parkas are incredibly convenient too.
They seem to be going through a wierd cut phase, which accentuates men's chest in an awkward way and looks like dad wear unless you are really slim/athletic, but I hope it is temporary thing. (or maybe I just need to get in better shape)
