    My opinion is, if you are hiking at/near some summit, and the wind picks up, It is much easier to pull on your down hood to add insulation than it is to wear your sleeping bag.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    My down hood often takes me directly to a Happy Place!

    Merino buff for me, my nose gets cold, so a buff pulled up to cover it keeps it warm without me looking like a bank robber!
