Also agree with going to see Dallas and trying stuff on. I ended up going up a size in my jacket from what I would have ordered if I didn't go see him. Definitely well worth it. I really like my gear that I have from them. If I was to go for a full system it would be:
Top:
icebreak coolite 130 short sleeve
Kuiu Merino 210 hoodie
Kuiu peleton 240 or sitka core heavy weight
Kuiu Super down pro or ultra depending on how easily you get cold
Kuiu Chugach or yukon pro jacket.
Bottom:
Kuiu merino 145 zip off bottom
Kuiu attack or yukon pant (If i picked attack i'd get the chugach rain pant as well)
yukon gaiters
Accessories:
Kuiu merino hat
Kuiu merino gloves
Peleton 240 beanie
kuiu attack gloves
Super down glassing mittens.
That is pretty much my whole system minus the gaiters and the puffy, which if I had the money id own both as well. I sometimes run the guide vest as well when on the move over my merino base layer as a windblock. Keeps my temperature regulated, but I'm not chilled from the wind. If you are going to be seeing a ton of rain id pick the yukon jacket and pant for sure. Hope this helps.
