Just went up pen-y-ghent to trial a merino wool wicking layer + gortex combo, rather than my usual merino + fleece + rain shell combo. I really liked it!
With the fleece combo, you can't always wear the fleece and it's bulky to carry. With the gortex on the other hand, it could be worn all the time as it kept me cool in the sun as well as warm when the wind chill crept up.
Interesting! I'll have to field trial the gortex combo during snowfall in winter.
