Hi everyone
Thanks to all the advice on the forums and the excellent post Christmas sales I am making progress on my Camino gear (including two pairs of shoes being tested and just bought my backpack today!)
Now moving on to the top part of me. As a big Icebreaker fan I am thinking about going with the following layers:
2 x Icebreaker tank top (150 & 150 - second is to sleep in)
2 x Icebreaker tshirt (135 & 150 - second is to alternate while washing)
2 x Icebreaker long sleeve top (180 & ? haven't bought a second yet, it's to alternate while washing)
1 x Icebreaker long sleeve full zip jacket (?)
1 x Marmot Precip for rain/wind
My big question is - what weight should I get for the long sleeve full zip jacket? There is an Icebreaker sale on at the moment and I have a choice of 200, 230 or 260.
I will be walking from 8 April 2017. I checked the average temps for April (3-6 to 14-16c) and May (6-10 to 16-22c). I tend to feel the cold easily when I'm still, but heat up when I walk. Based on this I'm leaning toward the 230 or 260 but I don't have a lot of experience (yet!) with layering while being active, I'm wondering if I should go for lighter... I guess layering is best. Just wanted some opinions on what the experts think![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks very much in advance!!
