Hi guys. It's getting colder again and I'm rethinking my outdoor clothes, midlayers to be exact. I have always been a fan of fleece for it's durability and price, so I don't have much experience with down jackets and vests.
Basically I'm ok hiking in a light fleece and maybe a shell jacket if it's windy, even down to 0 C. I need something around campsite, after getting out of the sleeping bag, when belaying someone. Is down jacket really worth the price and hassle (and saving in weight and pack space), or should I just get another fleece that would fit between my layers. So far I red on the internet that it's only wort it for really cold situations. Happy to hear any opinions.
