Hi all! Looking for anyone with experience hiking in Patagonia in late shoulder season. I will be headed down at the start of November and plan to do the Huemul Circuit as well as a few other overnights.
I am not overly concerned about my big 3 as I have a solid 20 degree sleep system and a Tarptent Stratopsire 2 that _should_ hold up to the wind, but I AM seeking advice on clothing and footwear! This definitely seems like the trickiest call with the possibility of sustained extreme winds, rain, and cool temps.
I was thinking of the following:
* 3 pairs darn tough wool socks
* 2/3 pairs underwear
* 1 long sleeve sun hoody - open to suggestions, maybe a midweight capilene instead?
* 1 t shirt
* Capilene long underwear
* Pants of some kind? Open to suggestions.
* 1 pair running shorts
* Down jacket
* Rain jacket
* Rain pants
* Lighter weight fleece of some kind
* Buff or fleece Skida hat
* Cheap fleece gloves
* Sunglasses
Anything that you would recommend adding/removing? I am wondering if some form of rain mitts could be prudent. This is a lot of clothing already, so I am wondering if certain things are really necessary, such as both a short-sleeve shirt and a sun hoody.
