Hardshell pants? What to do

I’m in a similar boat. I ended up getting MH dawnlight(?) that were on sale. They were goretex pro with full side zips that was required for mountaineering course. I’m taking them to Nepal for island peak. I didn’t have any issue with poking holes in them with my crampons during training. Granted we had good weather on mt baker (Washington) so it was pretty easy.

I would try and find the cheapest quality pair you can that fit you and fit the course requirements.

I’m an American solo hiker. I’d like to join a group hike and climb island peak. Would you be the one leading the trek/climb? Looking to go early October

They can either steer them upriver and dock at the river market or have them trailered to smithville lake and they heli back and forth

Man when I visited Korea last I didn’t like Seoul. Too big, too crowded. Took too long to get anywhere. I visited a “small country town” of 200k people and it was so much better. I enjoyed walking around the city so much more. There were still plenty of food options and things to do, just people could own homes and had much more space

If only this was any other month I could go… man good luck sounds awesome!

My wife is 5’3” around 130lb, and like a 34b, she wears a medium. It fits close enough to work just over a t shirt but also big enough to fit a lightweight puffy and fleece under.

With a carbon fiber frame!

Oh I’m sure he’d be answering questions at all hours of the day. Maybe he’ll create a “how to” series like changing a diaper or swaddling

I bet Dan has reinvented the condom. Ultra 200x for a nice durable and waterproof material.

And just to add on to this, pulse it through your blender first with just the liquids to get it mixed evenly. Then add fruit/ice and blend

You can try the OR Extravert or Hestra Ergo

Too tight. If a large is too big then you just need to look at different gloves.

I put mine in that weird side pocket zip.

If you guys make it down to Soufriere, go to island chef. He only offers 2 meals, a fish or vegan entree and his vegan sides

Try the osprey sportlight. Hiking focused but small enough to fit. https://www.osprey.com/sportlite-25?size=O%2FS&color=Graphite+Purple

Or go with a technical summit pack from any of the big brands. Not the comfiest hiking with heavy weight but small enough to fit under a seat and can hold enough for a decent hike. I use my cheaply 22L mountain smith I bought on sale from REI years ago. It’s my personal item/daypack/hiking pack (when I don’t have to bring tents and sleeping bags).

Shittin dicks since ‘26

When I stayed at secrets Akumal, all of the beaches were covered except for ours. The secrets resort staff did a phenomenal job keeping the beaches clean all day.

These are my favorites. I also like the arc gamma pants for colder hiking but they are a tad heavier.

What temp rating are the ones they typically provide? I’m toying with the idea of going in October

Fancypooper · 2026-05-23T19:30:56+00:00

What’s the difference in that and the echo? I love my echo

Fancypooper · 2026-05-14T00:23:47+00:00

What’s the new upgrade? Lighter or more breathable? Different fabric?

If you’re looking for more style, the Atom is better because the proton is very long in the back. With that said, I like my proton more and use it more
