I have struggle to find the right mid layer piece. I am very happy with my base layers witch mostly consist of merino wool and fleece vests. Most of the merino is First Lite, a few are Black Ovis. I am very happy with my bibs and jacket, which are the First Lite Solitude set. With my base layer options and the puffy vest I tend to wear under my Solitude jacket, I can comfortably hunt most conditions in south/central Illinois. I have been struggling to find that piece when I need a little more than the base layer but not quite needing the solitude jacket. A light weight jacket that blocks the wind would be great and I think would fill my gap, but it needs to be silent. The puffy jacket thread got me really thinking about this again. A puffy would fit this spot well, if it were silent, but it is not silent enough as an outer layer. I have been searching for this piece for a while, but have not found one that fits this need. Any suggestions?
