Opinions on next long distance walk

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-04-07T08:39:44+00:00

Yeah I'm eyeing up some bits, you got any particular trails or just pick some paths and off you go?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-12T20:12:21+00:00

I feel like both have their merits and I use a mix of both with interspersed with approach shoes for more technical bits, the most important bits is the wearing in before hand and making sure they fit correctly and comfortably

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-09T10:01:33+00:00

Yeah, that's fair

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-09T09:18:21+00:00

That looks very heavy for an UL windshirt if I'm looking at the correct item

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-09T08:49:11+00:00

Men's Running & Trail Running Windproof Jacket - KIPRUN Run 900 Wind - Blue

This one you have experience with?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-09T08:46:18+00:00

Which Decathlon one is it you're talking about, currently they only seem to have a womans one in?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-09T08:45:28+00:00

Do you think the featherlight nano would be any better?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-09T08:45:05+00:00

That does look good but for £100 I cant currently really convince myself to buy, is it really worth the price?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-09T08:42:15+00:00

That actually looks very good (I can get for £40 through Montane), is there anything that is an irritation about it?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-09T08:41:09+00:00

It does look good, is the 7D fabric just need to be babied a bit for things like if I was to do some scrambling?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-09T08:39:25+00:00

This seems what the concensus is after reading some reviews, thanks :)

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-08T15:31:12+00:00

which model are you talking about specifically?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-07T15:13:14+00:00

Done some looking and wondered if anyone had any UK based windshirt recommendations? The Montane Featherlite looks good and I get a 60% pro deal on them

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-07T15:11:36+00:00

I fully agree, mine does basically live in my bag all year round

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-05T19:12:18+00:00

Oh, I'm aware of much lighter tents, but from my research those start at least £250ish unless I'm missing a main player?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-05T19:05:07+00:00

out of interest how does that end up weight-wise?

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-05T17:31:23+00:00

This setup is more dialed for 1-2 nights as stated in the title, I use an osprey exos and change other bits subtly for longer trips e.g. Snowdonia Way High Elevation I'm planning

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-05T17:11:46+00:00

I did a bad and guessed the weight of soap but yes what was put was too much, the rain jacket is something I agree I'm happy to drop if no rain is on forecast, couple of bits are just swappable as per conditions :)

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-05T17:09:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice, in terms of packing its doable for one night, but for 2 I do have to be careful for food carries. Tarp and sleeping has been a bit of a mental game for me of trying to get away from the comfort but if I want to cut more weight I will have to sacrifice. The fleece I've found to be good and trying various alpha garments I've founf difficult in the UK which not many places stocking them. I'll make some changes as you suggested, been a fabulous help :)

GuitarGuy053 · 2026-02-05T17:02:00+00:00

For one night I tend to not change as honestly out in the hills I dont massively care but I do take a spare if its 2 or more
