They are more than frowned upon, they aren't allowed at all in NSW above the tree line. There is a distinct lack of trees above the tree line...

Winter weight long underwear and a wind-suit might be enough; perhaps a lightweight fleece if really cold.
It's when you stop that most people find they have an urgent need to layer up.
Just make sure that your clothing layers all work together so that if you need a lot of insulation you can wear everything you have all at the same time and without any compression of each layer in the system.

Probably a good tip is to learn about Hypothermia. Even early onset, you need to pull the pin on "I'm all right" and set up camp, get into a bag, eat and drink warm drinks if possible. Once hypo, it takes a long time to get your core back to normal, the longer you leave it, the harder and longer it takes. And it drains you energy wise as well.

Could you kind folk please provide a link to a make and model of puffy trousers you personally use?
