Light , Roomy & Durable

GoLite Race Pack - 2700 cu in

GoLite Race Pack - 2700 cu in

Rating for this product: 5 May 27, 2003

I just got back from a week-long section hike of the Appalachian Trail and promised myself I'd give others some feedback on the equipment I used. Well, the GoLite did not disappoint! I carried 20 pounds fully loaded and 15 when I ran low on food (light by AT standards). I'd recommend not going above 20-25 pounds since the straps start weighing a bit heavy on your shoulders after a few hours. The pack itself was very light and extremely roomy and durable. I really liked the side pockets (allowed me to distribute weight as well as allowed easy access to frequently used items). I chucked the Platypus bladder after about 30 miles and exclusively used two water bottles instead. This made it much easier to refill my water without having to empty my pack and also reduced my weight by not carrying too much water at one time. I also sealed the seams which allowed me to skip the pack cover. Had a really hard rain on the trail and everything remained dry. I am very satisfied with my GoLite Racer pack!

Fast & Dependable

Katadyn Guide Water Filter

Can't beat the quality of a Katadyn Guide. Used it on the Appalachian Trail for over a week without a hitch. It really pumps the water so you don't have to wait long to fill your bottles. Only drawbacks are the weight...just a bit heavy and it is a little awkward to use. It is definately fast and dependable.

Used the Simmerlite on a recent week-long outing. Never had a problem. It delivers great even heat for quick boil times. I really liked the ability to adjust the flame up and down. Oh, did I mention it is really light! Got nothing but good things to say about the Simmerlite!
