I see someone said to layer with merino wool. I was wondering, is that the best option? I was thinking of getting a Marmot Gravity Softshell to put under it.

Thanks, I went with the Icebreaker bodyfit200 oasis crew and a marmot guides down sweater to layer under the rubicon. I dont plan to be extremely active, this is more going to be my system for winter in chile. There isnt much in terms of warming the house (just a wood burning stove) so i wanted layers to keep myself warm and dry this winter season. I just ordered the rubicon in twilight. Is that an older model? It isnt on marmots website and it looks slightly different from the other color options available. If it is the previous years model, can you tell me the main differences between the past year and the current?

It depends on what temps you'll be in and how active you will be in those temps. The trick to layering is to add and subtract layers as the temps and your activity change. My basic system in wet winter weather is base layer, mid weight fleece or breathable soft shell and then waterproof/breathable shell. If it's really cold might add a vest or substitute a light down for the fleece layer.
