Maybe a Frogg Togg UL poncho is cool.middle road
Yeah I am close to returning. It was a freak out buy. But wind jacket is very nice and I have reliable shelter.
So sounds like 10 degree was way to go!
Where did you use it?
I have a 10 degree Zpacks, almost full zip, solo bag. Temps will get below freezing. I definitely wanted the comfort of the 10 vs the 20. But, I am sure some nights will be too warm (or maybe not)....
Days away from go time. Very ready. But, which I'm sure is natural, I am questioning some gear choices. What ya'll think about the need for a Torrentshell on a late fall AZT thru?
If I leave it at...
I have a Feathered Friends Windjacket and well made Nylon pants. For a second layer I have a fleece, however maybe you are referring to something else.
I am still looking for modest rain gear. Gone back and forth a lot cause it's AZ during dry season. My wind jacket is somewhat water proof.
I actually have all that very down. It was a question of preference more so in an effort to limit cell usage. But thank you.
So I am starting an AZT sobo thru in a few days. It is a bit late but had to go down this way. I am seeing temps come in and for much of the hike highs will be in the 50s. Is this too light of a...
Interesting... I predict I will see averages in 30's and 40's, but some nights in 20's.. so for those I went with a Smartwool neck gaiter and a Wigwam Wool Beanie (USA made and $12 on Amazon Prime).
Cool, that is all I needed.
I have the app. It is awesome. I just was thinking of trying to limit pulling out my phone and also in the event my phone gives out or dies.
I am almost entirely ready to start a sobo of the AZT. The one last thing I haven't addressed is how to track daily mileage. I am certain it is important to do on a trail such as the AZT. But, I also...
Also, Zpacks have these new possum gloves that seem cool. Picked up a pair of those. They run a little small so size up.
For the record, I went with this (on sale): https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/product/893722/smartwool-nts-250-pattern-neck-gaiter
And I am pretty sure I will compliment it with a beanie. Keep it...
Thank you Dogwood. I appreciate it but I'll grab a new one. I'll use it so much and I haven't gotten a new beanie in YEARS. And yeah, I feel like I am just making it out there in time, albeit late....
Also, if I am getting worked by the cold I can throw on my down hoodie.
That is a good point on the neck gaiter. I think I'm going to do a beanie (fleece or wool) and neck gaiter set up for versatility. I will, afterall, be in Arizona. I think once I get through northern...

My bad, I am still a noob (soon to change)...but what do you mean by a buff?
Cool, this is what I was thinking: http://shop.outlier.nyc/shop/retail/merino-watch-cap.html
Ah, and I also have a Neoair Xlite.
Hello!
I am so close to finally starting the Arizona Trail. Six months in the making. I am getting out there late so I will see temperatures occasionally dip below freezing at night. I have very...
