Re: Please critique my layering system

here's my typical gear list for what you are describing. i substitute things in and out based on the time of year and forecast:
mammut dri-release long sleeve tee-shirt
patagonia fleece vest w/windstopper front
cloudveil run don’t walk hoody (worn w or as base layer)
wild things hooded wind shirt
eVent hard shell (if the forecast calls for pain)
patagonia men's micro puff pullover or wild things belay jacket (early season)
under armor heat gear compression shorts
patagonia running tights
gym short
cloudveil rayzar soff shell pants
wild things wind pants
outdoor research neoplume pants (early season)
pearl izumi fleece gloves w/outdoor research gore mitten shells
hestra Heli's
OR mutants (early season)
boonie hat
microfleece hat
neoprene facemask
instead of a typical soft shell jacket i like to wear the polar stretch hoody, which is highly breathable and add the wind shirt if needed. i'm a bit neurotic when it comes to my hands so i tend not to head off without two pairs of gloves. i could lighten the load and replace the belay jacket with something down-insulated, but i already own it, and i think of it (right or wrong) as my bullet-proof vest. i have hard shell pants, but i can't remeber the last time i took them out of the gear bin.
just some food for thought as you fine-tune your own selection
