[pct-l] Layers/Clothing

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I'm a female. I don't travel like one :)
Worn:
Tank top or short-sleeved shirt
Long-sleeved button-down "desert" shirt
Long pants
Underwear
Socks
Shoes

In pack "extras":
2 more pairs of socks
Pair of thin fleece fingerless gloves
fleece balaclava
Ray Jardine bomber hat (for sleeping)
fleece sleeves (for leg or arm warmers)

Warm layers:
Patagonia houdini
* Patagonia down sweater

Rain layers:
Umbrella
Rain chaps

* down sweater has been replaced lately by a Jacks R Better wearable  
quilt. The quilt is a 2nd sleeping bag during winter. Could be used  
as a single bag in summer. During some times of the year I might have  
to use the down sweater instead of the JRB quilt + my other quilt.
