Default Better to be . . .

a little cold going to the stand, than sweating and freezing to death an hour later in the stand.

I use to take off my parka and hang it on my tree stand as I carried it into the woods. Kept the warm sweater in a pack. Moved slowly. Stayed a little cold and minimized sweating. Paid sooner so I didn't pay later.

If you're too warm the first ten steps in frigid weather, you're too warm.

And nobody ever said frigid weather was going to be easy. It always seemed 20 degrees colder a half hour later in the stand.
