I am using-up old but good stuff. f_klock is right about the thin wicking layer. I bought a set and it has been great. That is my only concession to the "modern era"- for the moment. After the thin layer, on goes a lightweight pendleton wool shirt, then a heavier woolrich wool shirt, then an old 60/40 parka. A wool cap on the head and thisulate gloves on the hands, and I am ready to go for hours in the local hills. Of course, thin layer rei sock under old time ragg wool socks. I am not glorifying the olden days, only saying you can use your Dad's coat and many other closet items made of the right materials. Just be sure to experiment with the layers.
