Layer options

[Sasq40]

Looking at getting a better mid layer jacket. I just got back into sledding this season and picked up a 509 onsie and kilm base Layers. I got myself a decent set of lined pants but can't find a good upper layer. I thought I could use my heated milwauke sweaters but doesn't keep my arms warm. So what's a good option to keep my upper half and arms warm?

My coat is a shell, and underneath I wear a thin, long sleeve klim base layer and this over that: https://www.smartwool.com/shop/mens...se-layer-quarter-zip-sw016355?variationId=E54

Most often I wind up taking off the smartwool shirt at some point.

Sounds like a better outer layer if those inners have failed.

The Milwaukee sweaters arms arent a warm fabric. I got the 509 allied mono suit figuring I'd be set which I almost am, just cold arms lol

I wear UA base 4.0 with a synthetic tshirt, this works good most of the time with a shell. Might have to throw on a fleece on the trail drive if its really cold.

I got a nice sweater from mountain warehouse and that did the trick for the arm. Still was a little chilled from sweat cuz of my darn body hair holding the moisture but better then before lol

I would question if you’re over dressing and sweat is your issue? You should be dry all day, if you’re not your outwear isn’t keeping moisture out or your base layer isnt wicking your sweat away.

I wear a base layer, and an uninsulated outerwear 95% of the time and thats it. I don’t get cold. Base layer is just thin polyester of sorts. I make sure to wear my UA Base 3.0 on colder days. If it’s REALLY cold, like negative highs (fahrenheit), I will add a 1/4 zip polyester fleece on my upper half, and stick with one layer on my legs.

Your probably aware but make sure you’re not wearing any cotton.
