Upper-body warmth!

The upper body layering system is very important.  You need to be able to add/subtract layers quickly to be able to adjust for any type of weather that may come your way.  My choices were:
-- "Mountain Hardware Absolute Zero" parka
-- "First Ascent Igniter" jacket
-- "First Ascent Point Success" jacket
-- "First Ascent Cloud Layer" fleece
-- "First Ascent Mountain Guide" soft-shell jacket
-- "First Ascent Rainier Storm Shell" hard shell jacket
-- "First Ascent Paradise 1/4 Zip" baselayer, 2 each
..... total retail full price:  about $1700
