'Invisible on Everest' has been covered elsewhere on FL and is a very interesting book.
Certainly the old ways of dressing were very efficient and tweeds were NOT worn on the ascent !!
Rob, if you can get a down vest on under your Aero then you are a better man than I !! In the UK I find that my Highwayman is too warm for all but the coldest weather we get here if I just wear a t-shirt and thin merino wool sweater. The issue for me is that the oils in the Aero hide just make it much stiffer. For me to buy an Aero that is wearable most of the year, I need it to fit fairly snug as it's plenty warm enough.
The oils also help to conduct heat out which could be an issue in very cold temps.
Cheers, Dave
