In July I will be traveling to Kyrgyzstan! We will rent a 4x4 and mainly do some day hikes. We will have 3 days to spare between Son Köl and Kel Suu. Would you recommend anything in the area inbetween these landmarks? We already planned to visit Tash Rabat as well.
What should I (F) wear when hiking in cold-to-medium temperature (0-15°C) and it is NOT raining? In particular the outer shell.
I will be wearing:
- base layer
- mid layer (a fleece vest)
- a wind breaker? Or a soft shell?
There are things that confuse me in the 3 layer system in sunny weather:
Can I wear a soft shell over the fleece mid layer? Or is the soft shell already a mid layer?
Or should I stick to wind breakers? But all wind breakers I see online are in a cropped style. All the normal length jackets are waterproof as well, which I am not looking for.
When you feel warm when hiking, do you remove the fleece mid layer or the outer shell? What is logical here?
I already have a waterproof jacket which I will be taking with me on hikes. For this question I am interested in water-resistant jackets only.
