I think a poncho would be a lighter and more versatile option. However, if you anticipate windy and stormy conditions it wouldn't give you as much protection as a pants and jacket combo. Personally, I don't find more than a rain jacket necessary in most cases. I have hiked in some pretty nasty conditions with only shorts and a rain jacket. I don't mind suffering a little bit though. As for your pack, you can easily keep your gear dry with dry bags or a pack liner.

Thank you so much! It was a truly amazing experience.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm about 5'10". I personally came to dislike the design of The One. However, I did have plenty of room at my head and feet.

It sure is!

You're welcome! I believe I hike mid July to mid August.

Thank you! Cheers!

@@solarhikes7778 welcome, mate ☺️

I had a KS40 for my hike in New Zealand and did have some trouble fitting all the food inside. There were a few very long carries out there (such as 9 days). For this hike of the Colorado Trail, I opted for the extended collar. I think I would have been fine without it as the max carry was 4-5 days. I tended to carry light bulky items such as chips or bread on the back of the back using the bungie system. As with any system, the volume available for food depends in part on the bulkiness of your other items. I had a very compact system.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks a ton!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! I typically don't burn my fingers but occasionally the wind will blow just right to put the flame towards the handles and they can get a bit hot. I meet someone this year on the trail that molded plastic over the handles to prevent any chance of burns.

I’m thinking of picking one of these up as they have the proven durability though the new version does look like a slight upgrade.

I started around mid July of last year and it took 28 days to complete. August will be a very nice time to start but you may get a few icy storms toward the end of the month. Either way, it will be an amazing time!

Thanks for the reply….much appreciated!!

Going ultralight is a philosophy. It's about challenging your limits of comfort.

It'll be an amazing experience!

The CT is amazing! You’re gonna love it dude!

I find that to be a great weight to be at. It's a good balance. It is fun, however, to challenge your comfort tolerance.

Yep, I used a 32 degree bag. It worked very well. There weren't too many really cold nights. I'm not sure that it got below freezing too many times. Even so, I good sleeping pad and some solid base layers will do the trick.

There are plenty of great trees along the trail for hanging a hammock! With that being said, there are a few long stretch's were there are no trees.

Solar Hikes thank you.

Yea, I considered getting a fast charging adaptor but I figured the wall charger would be good enough and I could save a few bucks. A fast charger with two USB ports would be most ideal I think. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks so much!

Same, just converted to ultralight. Took my 15# baseweight (which already felt light) and now it's hovering just over 10#.

Awesome! It's fun and interesting to test your limits of comfort.

Cheers!

I'd say it did pretty well. Kept me completely dry even in a lightning storm. I still have doubts about the design of the half vestibule though and the full vestibule side has a large gap under it.

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you very much. I didn't see any bears. Although, that could be a good thing haha.

@@solarhikes7778 most of the bears in Colorado have been killed over the last couple centuries unfortunately thanks to your colonizing ancestors unless you happen to be full indigenous which I highly doubt…now the majority of grizzly bears are found in Montana and Alaska and in western/northern Canada

It really is!

It’s a great trail! Highly recommend it!

Thanks for watching!

Yea man! We’ll need to go hike the wind River next summer.

Awe thanks! I’ll try to get over there soon.

Yep, is that high?

@@solarhikes7778 no, that is decent I think, only I expected bigger difference . Just looking for clues why my equipment weights always so much more

You don't count consumables do you?

@@solarhikes7778 yes, aaahh is this my mistake here? Then we quite the same. I compared it also with two ltr water and 3 days ( 6 meals)....at the end that's is what you dragg with you....

Right, but people go off of base weight (no consumables) because it's the only thing that remains (relatively) constant. It standard to not even count fuel, sunscreen, etc.
