Gear Review
I overdressed… Again. I was overheating early in the hike so I removed my base layer. I felt more comfortable in a sun hoody.
I did not remove the base layers on my legs.. I was still kinda overheating.. I ned to find a solution for summer baselayers
Cotton Pants
I will not wear cotton pants again. I sweat through the seat. I think a wool poly pant will be perfect. I need to find a good set from the surplus store.
