Hi all,

I’m trying to create a layering system for myself when hiking in cold weather, Is there a consensus on which layers are best to have hoods? otherwise I’d appreciate your recommendations.

I’m thinking if I get both mid layers with a hood it’ll probably be uncomfortable, no?

  1. base layer (no hood)
  2. fleece mid layer 1
  3. down jacket mid layer 2
  4. outer shell layer (definitely with a hood)

Thanks!
