Vasque Mantra GTX Hiking Shoe - Men's
May 5, 2009
I've talked to some thru hikers and am researching and buying gear for my daughter to start thru hiking AT soon. They all mostly wear sturdy trail runners that have a shank for underfoot protection and lots of mesh for breathability and fast drying. For your gear set think: lighter, thinner, smaller with everything! She has pack weight down to 25 - 30 lbs. No need for a bag under 10 to 15 degrees as the temps. don't go lower than that. Think of layering all clothes together for climate changes. Get titanium pot and homemade pop can alcohol stove. Look up ultra light camp sites for lots of info. and keep paring down. Most hikers only carry one set of clothes, warmer layers, raingear, and spare socks & undergarments. Everyone says gortex shoes too hot and don't dry fast enough. Happy trails - keep researching!
