i am quite a cold person, and I am debating whether this would be overkill on Denali in May-June. Any thoughts?

Brian. Although I haven't been there myself, my good friend is sitting across the table from me and he is an IFMGA Guide and has been there many times. The answer to the question do you need this? No. Most likely you would wear it 1 out of 21 days. According to the expert 1 in maybe 50 folks takes a down suit on Denali and you could maybe use it on a wickedly cold summit day. Other than that, an Absolute Zero Jacket coupled with a pair of Mountain Hardwear Compressor Pants would do the trick. This is the combo that most guides wear up there and would provide a lot more versatility than the down suit. Other than that, 7000m+ for this bad boy... unless of course you enjoy ice fishing in northern Minnesota in February!
