In reply to Stani49:
Walk in; Synthetic base layer, Rab Boreas pull on, Softshell gilet to keep the core warm. Switch and swap as necessary but generally can start with the three on and get away with them without getting super warm. Pair of synthetic leggings and Patagonia Powershield Pro fabric trousers (totally bombproof and really weather resistant). Can use hat and thin gloves to help regulate temperature.
Gearing up and climbing; ME Orbital if the weather is fair for climbing in but if its snowy then I'll wear a totally knackered Rab Pertex "waterproof" top as an extra windshirt over the top of all stated layers, still good enough to keep snow and a little water off. Don't mind getting a bit damp from sweat or weather on the walk out. Keep gore tex salopettes in the bag, left them at home more often this season as freezing level has been low down the hills a lot. I'm very much of the softshell mind set, until the weather totally craps out.
If its proper ming, or forecast to be, then i'll start the day with full heavy weight Gore salopettes and jacket or keep them in bag until I'm about to gear up.
If all hell has broke loose or I'm belaying for a while then I have a Montane Flux to throw over it all, and always keep a pair of mittens in the pockets of it.
Kinda based on the Mark Twight action suit mentality but tweaked to suit my own needs, plenty good info to be found in Extreme Alpinism.
