Here's the spring packing problem nobody talks about: you check the forecast, it says 75°, and you leave the layers at home. Then you're in a gondola going up a mountain and it's actually snowing at the top. That's exactly what happened on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway — desert heat at the bottom, pine trees and snow at the top, in under ten minutes. Best experience of the trip. Completely unprepared outfit-wise on our first instinct. This is the layering formula I'd use again for any spring trip where the weather could go either way: a Varley or Alo performance base, a Vuori hoodie that doesn't look like a gym hoodie, and a packable puffer that compresses into its own pocket and lives at the bottom of your bag until you need it. Sambas or a low trail shoe that works for both the walk and dinner after. The whole system packs flat. You'll use every piece.
