Layering for the shoulder season
The trailhead is 38 degrees; the summit is 52 and windy. Three layers solve both.

Base layer: merino, snug but not tight. Mid layer: fleece you can unzip. Shell: waterproof, packable, and roomy enough to go over both.
Stop and add or remove a layer before you’re uncomfortable. It takes thirty seconds and saves the whole day.
