I agree. "Open to interpretation" would be my comment. And seeing as we have to carry those those three extra tops, here is MY interpretation/kit list:

1. Waterproof/taped jacket
2. Waterproof/taped trousers
3. Long trousers (ie. tights), probably worn on day with wicking pants. If very warm I might wear lycra shorts and then carry the longs to change into later
4. Baselayer (worn on day)
5. 3 x long tops : i) soft shell warm layer ii) extra baselayer iii) pertex lightweight windproof jacket
6. Windstopper gloves + waterproof mitts
7. Warm hat but also a couple of buffs
8. Extra socks. I'll be wearing Sealskinz waterproof to start with, but these are for emergency back-up

I might consider an assault on K2 afterwards Seriously - DMD - will this do the trick?
