Re: [Philmont]: Fleece (wearing layers)

Our crew t-shirts were coomax. Fleece was next and then rain gear. Light
gloves and a light fleece hat are also suggested.
Some also took wool shirts. I have to say that the extra wool shirts came
in handy a couple of time at the higher altitudes.

Finally, in place of fleece, Marmot makes a nice jacket that sounds
something like climate. It's spendier than most fleece, but it's a great
second layer in place of fleece and less bulky.

Regarding fleece,

Sounds like our crew is on the right track with the types of clothing to
layer. However, there are several different weights of fleece. Any
particular fleece jacket work better than others? Brand?
