So, I'm looking at finally upgrading the ol' outerwear, and am evaluating some "top picks". I'm looking for an intermediate (early-mid fall) layer; something that will keep the chill off, but doesn't have to be 100% WP. More important, I want it to breathe well if I'm packing in, or moving fast.

A long time ago, I had the original Under Armor "Ayton" woodland digital (see pic)...which was my favorite. Sadly, it got left behind as the years went by. I've looked at Sitka Gear and Plythal...love their stuff (but so do they apparently). UA's moving away from their original camo to the "Ridge Reaper", which is "ok"...maybe even a better pattern, but I liked what I liked.

Since then, I've ran Eddia Bauer Gore Tex...which is great, but not as light, and "tan" is about as close to camo as that comes. My old DCU parka's great for mid-winter, but looking for "high speed".

Anyone have any suggestions or favorite picks?
