RE: [Philmont]: cold weather gear

I will certainly be urging my troops to be fully prepared, but I'm anticipating some push back from a few who will say "all those cold-weather stories are from folks who went to Philmont in June - we're going the end of July (July 28), and it is hotter then - I can leave the fleece at home".

What sayeth the wisdom of the list? Does the onset of the Philont monsoon season in mid to late July offset the generally warmer temperatures, such that the need for cold-weather gear is no less than it was early in June?
