Arc'teryx is amazing, stupid expensive but amazing I own a lot of it. I'll also give them a plug and say DS tactical in Canada are dead on US prices for most items but in CAD the only issue I've ever had is the Drake pants I've ripped a couple holes in them when deep in some Knawley bush. Easy to patch and they are the cheaper (280$) of the pants and not the (600$) ones.
Sweat wicking base layer, soft shell under my vest and vortex on the outside if absolutely needed. Good to -30 and at +5 I'll loose the soft shell.
Since we are talking rain gear I will also say Muck boots are my favorite boots ever, they are warm in the winter, breath (enough) in the summer and are 150% waterproof. I don't know about out east but over here if your standing in water you either get the element of suprise or a nice retreat space because very few will or can go through water with 0 concern.
