Freezing on The PCT. If you run cold, your advice is welcome!

I’m currently hiking the PCT NoBo. I’ve been tossing and turning almost every night because I can’t seem to get warm.

Current sleep setup:

  • Wool base layer and socks
  • 20°F synthetic sleeping bag
  • Sea to Summit Reactor Extreme sleeping bag liner
  • Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm NXT pad, 7.3 R-value
  • Fleece jacket
  • SENIQ Wild Puff packable down hoodie

I add the fleece jacket last week and Puffer this week. I’ve also started taking iron supplements and I’m eating ALOT, so I don’t think calories are the main issue.

For those who naturally run cold: what gear or sleep set up do you use or actually helped you stay warm at night?
