Need advice on mid-layers.
I’m planning a high-altitude trip combining mountain hiking and trail running around 5,000 meters (16,400 feet) above sea level.
Since trail running involves high exertion and heavy sweating, but high altitudes bring freezing temps and strong winds, I want to optimize my mid-layer setup for both active breathability and static warmth.
Here is my current selection for mid-layers:
1. Polartec Power Grid (for breathable active insulation)
2. PrimaLoft Evolve Active (for lightweight, highly breathable warmth during movement)
3. A PrimaLoft Gold jacket (for static warmth during rest breaks or extreme cold)
My main questions are:
Is having both Power Grid and PrimaLoft Evolve redundant for active mid-layers, or do they complement each other well when stacked?
How would you recommend pairing/switching these layers between high-intensity running and rest stops at 5,000m?
Any feedback or alternative mid-layer recommendations from experienced high-altitude trail runners and mountaineers would be greatly appreciated!
