Dan & Heather's 1 carry-on for hiking world

Created November 23, 2009

The items listed are my minimalist approach to a 1 carry-on bag that supplied my month long trip to Peru, spanning over the whole country, and varied climate changes. I live off these items, so its very important they can be washed and dried quickly, layered for all weather conditions, and suit a variety of engagements. The idea of this list is to be able to layer when needed for very cold climates, and handle moisture with few troubles.

As hoped for

prAna Stretch Zion Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 2, 2009

Just got these, I really like the material, the nylon is a tough material that is still noisy (swish,swish) but has a feel closer to a cotton.. nothing like other cheaper nylon pants. They claim to be reinforced in the knees & seat, I don't see that really helping much if it exists; I don't feel it. Nevertheless, I love the fit (Medium) (5'11, 150lb), belt seems to function fine, favorite traveling pants I've ever tried, looking forward to try them on the boulders. Comfortable on waist, quick to dry. Highly recommended!

Fantastic

The North Face Impulse Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 23, 2009

I love these, just like the XTC base shirt, I've used these pants for 3+ years, I've biked 14miles to work daily, ran, poured rain on them, I use them under my jeans when I ride my motorcycle in the winter and they keep me very warm as a loose base layer. They still look great, and hopefully will last many more years. Spendy buggers, but great.

Answer to: "I ride a motorcycle and I need a pant that I can wear over my"

The North Face Venture Pant - Mens

November 23, 2009

Living in the northwest and riding year round, we get a lot of rain; they haven't failed me, but like Dave said, have warmer layers underneath. Good luck.

pretty good

The North Face Venture Pant - Mens

Rating for this product: 4 November 23, 2009

I purchased these for a waterproof/windproof layer on motorcycle trips. They have worked really well, no warmth of course, but I stay dry, and they are very light, and don't suffocate my legs. I wish they were a little easier to remove with hiking boots on, but i would consider packing them hiking, if i found myself in a ridiculously high rain area. For the motorcycle application, they are great.

Lasted a few years

The North Face XTC Lightweight Crew Top - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 23, 2009

This base layer has held up to a brutal beating over the years, good to keep warm, I wore it on a 2000mile motorcycle ride, Whitewater rafting, climbing, Hiking, always served great. 3 years later, its beginning to get loose threads here and there, label has worn off, but it never has odor, doesn't wrinkle, dries fast.

Awesome shirt

The North Face Sequoia Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 23, 2009

Great style, great travel/hiking shirt. I've washed it in the shower, dry it in a towel and its good to go in less than 2 hours. I bought 2. I really prefer it over the Mountain Hardwear canyon shirt, much better style for a young guy like myself, and on colder days i just layer under and over it. I'm 5'11 155lb. medium fits great.

Answer to: "Write your question here...We're going to trek up Machu Pichu"

The North Face Paramount Utility Pant - Men's

November 23, 2009

Absolutely, Just wash in a shower or whatever you have, roll them in a towel, and should be dry in a few hours depending on climate. The men's sequoia shirt by Northface has dried in an hour. I love it.

Not quite

Perfectly matched what I wanted

Patagonia Barely Bra A/B - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 6, 2009

This bra makes your breasts feel as if they are floating on clouds! You can't feel the bra hardly at all, and yet the support is divine (for me, a puny size A-B). Perhaps it wouldn't be enough for someone who prefers padding, wires, or stiff support but i feel very well supported in it, yet flexible for when i'm climbing, the most comfortable bra i have ever donned! Quick Drying, Simple, Great for Traveling, and Climbing.
