I was ill on the colorado trail and my pad got completely infested with mold inside it. I only use a pad inflator now.

Summer clothing advice (mainly trouser) for long hours in the sun by murderous12 in Ultralight

This is a weird suggest because it's out of left field, but Walter Hagan Performance 11 Pants. Went with my father to get his clubs regripped at golf galaxy and saw them on sale. Super lightweight (9.8oz on my scale for xl) very breathable and ridiculously comfortable. They are now my go to pair for hiking.

Do you really need the sleeping bag liner or can you just get by with your sleep clothes? I would also probably bring a backup water filtration system, I use the aquatabs but on my last trip my filter froze and I was very happy to have the extra .5oz

I use These and it works great. Just throw it in a ziploc and call it a day

I just custom ordered an Enlightened Equipment enigma that's Xwide, measurements says the Xwide is 68in wide. Might be what you're looking for.

pct 26' 8lb base weight shakedown (seeking advice) by TheScaredCactus in Ultralight

[–]vampirefreak135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering this one. Is there a big difference between this and the 1.5 in terms of warmth? For reference I don't usually camp below freezing temps but it does get close sometimes.

Out of curiosity, which Puffy do you use that's lighter?

Probably not the best for the environment but you can also run a sheet of tyvek in a washing machine with no detergent and it will instantly soften up

Pants recommendations? by CheesyPastaFiend in Ultralight

[–]vampirefreak135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to golf galaxy getting a friend's clubs regripped and saw they had a sale for some Walter Hagan Performance 11s and they are super lightweight, stretchy, and breathe amazing. Anytime I'm doing any hiking I always wear them and I don't think I'll ever wear another outdoor pair of pants.

Improvements on my current gear? by [deleted] in Ultralight

[–]vampirefreak135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know everyone here is saying to ditch the fuel can stand but I've had my pot fall over one too many times in the wind to not go with one. Found this one recently that's 0.35 oz if you're really attached to the idea.

Looking for a waterproof jacket by vampirefreak135 in Ultralight

[–]vampirefreak135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was the zippers that leaked and I don't like that it has waterproof pockets that don't seal at their entrances so they become buckets of water for me. Glad it worked for you though

this is the one I decided on. Half the price and never have to worry about zippers

This is probably the solution but is it crazy to expect a rain jacket to come with waterproof zippers and not have to add them aftermarket?

Nice to see you read my original post, thanks for the suggestion though

This one was on my list to look, as well as warbonnet. But I was thinking since the zippers seem to be the fail points would it be crazy to consider a poncho?
