1st layer. Tech shirt. Very little warmth but good sun protection. Full sleeved with a collar.
When you say "tech shirt" do you mean a moisture-wicking shirt or something more specific?
Thank you for your great input, also!

I don't use a 'base layer' which I think normally refers to thermal type undergarments.
1st layer. Tech shirt. Very little warmth but good sun protection. Full sleeved with a collar.
Next. Fleece. For warmth. But little wind protection and no rain protection. It's not really an 'outer' layer. but a 'mid layer' garment.
Next. Rain Jacket. Great wind protection (has a peaked hood) and as far as i can tell so far on 2 Caminos, 100% rain protection. (Many members use a poncho instead of a rain jacket)
Hello all!
I'm looking to buy a quality fleece for my Camino because I expect to wear it a lot in the late autumn/early winter. I was looking at full zip Storm rated sweaters from Under Armour but all of the pack lists I've seen have specified a 1/4 zip fleece. Is there a reason for this? The weight of the zipper? Chafing?
Should I bother with the waterproofing or should I trust in my Coalatree poncho?
Gracias and buen Camino!

With the incredible number and type of shirts, jackets, vests, ...... wind proof, water proof ..... Start with what is comfortable and may work well for you. Test them out as layers before you leave home.
I still have it! In fact I'm weighing up whether to pack it next time!
It's only about 900 gms I think, and I have our packs down to only 3.4 and 7.4 kgs. Including sleeping bags!
So it could easily sneak in

Fresh rice would be nice now and againAnd you can do sooooooo much with it
