The Columbia base-layer with Omniheat is an excellent option for the cooler nights on the trail.

By using the Columbia Omniheat, you can reduce the additional bulk created by other heavyweight base layers.

Saucony Peregrine 4 Review
My overall opinion of the shoes is somewhere in the middle. The overall cushioning on the feet as well as stability is great. They can be laced up quickly and you can be running in no time. The Peregrine offers a nice tight fit that allows you to have control while running down the trail. The tread is aggressive enough for any loose or muddy terrain allowing you to exercise and explore in most trail conditions.
