Women's backpacking gear?
What should a female carry in a backpack for an extremly long hike and where would the items go?
I am in the market for a new pack and bag, and I know what I want in each fairly well, but I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on important qualities they look for in their gear.
>Sleeping bags - must be warm and true to rating Also a silk liner to go along with it.
I like Marmot and have three marmot bags. Likely will go to down though so I can pack the bag in a smaller backpack ( curretly own the Gregory Jade). For summer weight, the Marmot pounder is excellent and compressible (and on sale from what I have seen in the past)
>I started with all hand me down stuff from my brother from the 70's. Some of it is great stuff I still use. I have gradually upgraded other items, but am still making mistakes. I wish I had known about this site before I got my interior frame pack and sleeping bag. Like them both, but now prefer lighter pack and down bag, but everyone is different.
> The beauty of these discussions is there is so much gear out there. One only sees the commercial stuff in REI or LLBean. I now use a granite gear vapor ki pack, a western mountaineer sleeping bag 20 deg, (pricey...but to me...worth it.), jet boil, hiker pro filter, big agnes insulated pad, sea to summit bags. My hiking partner carries the tent and I carry the food. I needed my pack to weigh only 20 lbs with water. the water containers are the platypus 1 liters and weigh only .5 oz. Hope this helps.
>I just got Osprey Aura 65 - beautiful light pack, although needs a little getting used to in terms of loading. But overall great great pack; love the back structure - no more backpacks soaked through with sweat. Extremely comfortable on the shoulders.
Another important update in my gear list - Big Agnes SL2 tent - so lightweight that even if I go solo, I can still take it. Convenient, quick, easy set up.
EMS mountain light 20 sleeping bag - very light, packable and warm.
>I love my...western mountaineering bag, sea-summit bags, granite gear vapor ki, jet boil, hiker pro, thorlo socks only, aslo boots, microfiber panties, big agnes insulated pad and last but not least, my water bags only weigh .5 oz each.
>I love my Big Agnes sleeping bag. I'm a big girl but this bag has plenty of room. I can't remember the name of the model but it's great. I have an old Coleman Peak 1 Cobra tent and even though part of me says I need a newer, better one when I thru ....I love the old girl.
