The fleece is also new to me this season, though I've used it around 7 nights so far. I still prefer a windjacket, but I haven't really been in conditions cold enough to necessitate hiking in the KUIU.
I splurged and got a bunch of PackIt Gourmet meals - my favorite. Just have to test other foods (bars, snacks). I'm allergic to nuts, so that eliminates the majority of 130+ calorie/ounce options.
