    I never wore any earlier iterations, but I switched from Salomon SpeedCross 3's to LP 3.0 and am really enjoying them. They seem broken in after just a few miles or minor trails and road walks, and...

    Is the new Gorilla you have a medium? I'd take it off your hands, since I'm looking for something lighter than my Exos but not as expensive as the Arc Blast for a PCT thru. PM me if so!

  17. Is the Hexamid $275 better than the TarpTent ProTrail for the PCT?

    Here's my LighterPack: https://lighterpack.com/r/fjxn6c
