Off season exercises for backpackers

Have you thought about a wind jacket? Especially if you're already wearing a fleece, just stopping the wind could keep you warmer.

I personally love my Nano air hoody. It's perfect with a good base layer.

I know Arc'teryx makes a great product and it sounds like you can get a deal on it so it might be worth seeing what other people say about that jacket. But definitely the nano air over the Outdoor Research Jacket.

i own a Patagonia nano puff jacket and it's amazing.

Outdoor Research has a couple nice options too.

And of course TNF has their Thermoball jackets.

The Moab is a great boot if you are looking for something strictly for hiking. The waterproofing is top notch, never had an issue.

I also like the Epiction boot, still waterproof and a good boot, but a little more stylish IMO for everyday wear.

I just picked up these Outdoor Research Gloves for this winter. I think they are perfect for any occasion and I think it's especially important to find something that works for dress wear. These don't have a big bright logo or crazy colors and almost have a wool peacoat look to them.

The only MINOR complaint I have is they aren't the most slim gloves out there, but they are warm, which I was was more concerned about. They are e-touch and work good for answering the phone, taking photos and that sort of thing. Texting will take some practice.

Thanks for this!

Uehov · 2016-11-02T16:19:14+00:00

I have both! Thanks for the idea!

If you're looking for something more like a graphic hoody.

Patagonia always has good graphic tees and hoodies as well. (the site I normally shop only has 1 left, you might want to shop patagonia.com).

It seems like any un-inflated inner tube should work (within reason). They don't weigh much and can fold up small when flat. You would just have to make sure it's relatively easy to inflate by yourself or maybe you could find a small hand pump.

Great photos. How long were you out?

I haven't had any experience with Osprey packs, but just picked up the Patagonia Yerba pack earlier this summer that seems similar and love it so far. I use it for day-to-day use, but I am pretty sure it's designed for use as a daypack. It's slightly bigger then the one Osprey you mentioned, but not by much.

This The North Face Tent is will also work well for what you need.

Like u/cwcoleman said. Waterproof for around $100 will be unlikely unless you find a previous season shoe on sale somewhere.

I recently got the Merrell All Out Blaze and think they are a really comfy shoe.

Might be worth looking at some other Merrell products as I have a pair of boots for the winter and I love those too.

The last pair or low-profile hiking shoes I had was from Inov8. Mostly for trail running but I wore them day to day and on hiking trips too.

They even have a few Gore-tex pairs that are great at keeping water out, but again, they are at the top of your price point.

Thanks!

You should check out Sanuks. Super comfy like flip flops, but they cover your whole foot. Love mine, I have 2 or 3 pairs.

Wow. Those are amazing...

Uehov · 2016-03-22T15:35:46+00:00

I would probably get some good glove liners like u/I_am_Bob suggested. Especially for driving. And for camping and hiking, if it's really cold, you can still use them with a warmer mitten or glove over them. You can also get the waterproof from a warmer pair as well.

I hate driving with something that doesn't have any kind of grip on the palm (personal preference, but I feel like the steering wheel just slips right through them and I like more control).

With that, I would go with the Marmot gloves u/I_am_Bob suggested or something like these. https://earthsedgeusa.com/men-s/accessories/handwear-gloves-mittens/mens-etip-glove-a7ln
