Pack - ULA Catalyst (slightly modified)

This is my go to pack, and has been for years.  It is large enough to fit late season insulation layer bulk and a bear canister.  I have also logged many miles with a ULA Circuit, ULA CDT, and the ULA Ohm.

Tent  - Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1

I love the Copper Spur UL1!  The side entrance and ceiling height are what I love the most.  It is a few ounces heavier than the Fly Creek, but the weight is worth the extra room and ease of entry.

Sleep System

Bag - Western Mountaineering Sycamore 25°F w/ overfill

This bag is awesome.  It is a semi-rectangular sleeping bag with a hood!  There is so much more room in this bag than the Ultralite or Alpinlite for a few ounces more.  I prefer the overfill for this bag with the additional fill weight the insulation weight is inline with 20°F Western Mountaineering sleeping bags.

Silk Liner- Mont Bell

The product I bought in 2007 is no longer available.  I love the addition of a silk liner for many reasons.  The additional warmth and it keeps my sleeping bags cleaner.

Pad - Therm - A - Rest Neo Air All Season

The All Season pad has a great R value to weight ratio and features I like.  It is a rectangular pad most pads are tapered, mummy shaped designs.  The rectangluar shape helps prevent your legs from falling off the sleeping pad all night.  Also as a couple you can strap the 2 rectangular pads together to make a wider sleeping area.  The Pro Lite fabric is very durable.

Clothing

Base Layer - Patagonia Capilene 2 Crew Neck Top, Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip Neck Top, Patagonia Capilene 3 Long Bottom,

Base Layer is a bit of a misnomer for how I layer.  I typically use them as sleeping layers unless it is really cold out or my capilene 2 top for the early morning hours.  My next to skin layer is my TNF Vaporwick short sleeve shirt, and my ExOfficio Boxer Briefs.  On top of those I will usually wear a Capilene 2 long sleeve crew neck in the morning for my top.  My legs are usually warm enough without the long bottoms.

Mid Layer - Rab PS Ziptop

This is my favorite clothing item out of anything I wear.  It is as warm as my lightest down jacket, and it wicks sweat away almost as fast as a capilene.  This Polartec Powerstretch fabric performs wonderfully.  This is so versatile it can be hiked in and wet out with sweat and it isn't a big deal.  You can't do the same with a down jacket because it would take hours maybe days to dry out.  This with a wind shell amazingly warm.  Unless it is extremely late season or early season hiking I don't carry a down jacket anymore.

Action Layer - TNF Vaporwick Shirt, TNF Taggart Convertible Pant

The shirts I wear are no longer in production.  The North Face still uses the fabric in a shirt with a different graphic.  It is VaporWick fabric, it feels like cotton and performs really well.  The Taggart pant I love.  The 4 way stretch fabric is extremely durable.

Socks - Darn Tough Micro Crew 3 pairs

I have been using Darn Tough socks for tons of hiking, and overall I am happy with them.  I seem to get about 375 miles out of a pair, and quite frankly that isn't nearly long enough life.  I have been trying a much thinner Cabela's sock as well.  It is similar to a SmartWool Phd sock.

Hat & Gloves - Outdoor Research PL 150 gloves, Outdoor Research PS Hat, Outdoor Research Helios Sun Hat, 2 pair sunglasses

I pack these items every trip no matter what time of year.

Wind Jacket and Pants- Marmot DriClime Windshirt, Marmot DriClime Pants

A wind layer is something I have started to love wearing.  It is either just a shell or the lined DriClime.  The anticipated temperatures will dictate whether I bring the lined DriClimes or not.  Unless it is raining too I don't use my rain jacket for a wind layer.  It helps my rain shells last longer.

Rain wear- Mountain Hardwear SL Plasmic Jacket, ULA Rain Kilt, Rab Alpine Latok Pant, Rab Alpine Latok Jacket

Typically I carry the MH Plasmic type jacket no frills jacket, and a ULA kilt for the PCT.  For colder temps I carry the Rab Alpine Latok eVent shells.  They are heavy, expensive, but they are durable.

Footwear - Patagonia Drifter A/C, Superfeet insoles
