Heavier warm jacket will get you sweating during a hike and cold when you stop. Others will chime in but maybe a wool base may be the ticket. My memories of wool is HEAVY when it gets wet.
I use a wind resistant fleece and depending on weather I will use heavier base layers.
^^^^^. Used wool for many years a long time ago, but the modern version is night and day difference. I’m a huge fleece fan and merino wool as it’s light, moisture wicking and easily layered without being bulky. Nothing like being able to shed/add a layer as the elements change around you. I’ve been on high ridges where I was practically in nothing, then the cloud rolled in and had to bundle up cause of freezing rain.
