Warmth hiking layer sub zero

[Dakotakid]

It was -8 when I went hunting this morning. Didn’t get to hunt last fall because of work obligations. My five layers worked well at zero degrees but I have been wanting to add a puffy/ synthetic as a layer.

Anyone have a good warmth layer? Puffy like or synthetic?

They can get expensive depending on quality. For hunting it’s Kuiu puffers. Everyday wear is Columbia with heat shield( looks like aluminum foil) Super warm.

I pack a sg puffy and puffy pants all the time hunting. I throw them on when I stop. I usually don’t wear many layers when hiking even in real cold temps. I sweat really easily so I’m always on the less insulation the better when hiking. Then when I stop to glass or something I look like the Pillsbury dough boy.

I picked up a Sitka ambient jacket this year on clearance, it’s pretty great for being active and sweating in the cold without getting soaked.

No puff while hiking for me. I usually take my base layer off when I ge to glassing and throw on a shirt, Stone glacier puff and put my shell over that I also have some Sitka puff pants that I will zip over everything if it’s as cold as you were saying.

Also, usually have a thin puff vest that I will put on as well. Never stops amazing me how much a vest helps.
