Gear Guide 2012: Marmot Drakon 35 Backpack “This is the biggest 35-liter pack ever,” raved a tester after lugging it with 40 pounds on a three-day Grand Traverse—an enchainment of the 10 highest peaks in Grand Teton National Park that involves technical climbing, a lot of scrambling, and thousands of feet of elevation gain and loss. smiggle backpack saleDespite being filled with an unholy amount of gear, he says, the pack was very stable on the super-exposed, knife-blade arêtes.yavapai backpack What makes it different is the climbing-friendly shape—the packbag tapers like an upside-down pear, from slightly wider at the top to narrower near the hips. anchor backpack deliasThis gave our tester maximum arm freedom for reaching tough handholds, and it transfers weight directly onto the thin, low-profile foam hipbelt. 7dayshop camera backpack

The soft and flexible backpanel, with a removable framesheet stiffener, allows the pack to stick to your back like duct tape, handy when you’re balancing on dicey terrain 1,000 feet off the deck. Tradeoff: The clingy, climber-friendly fit means minimal ventilation. 2 lbs. 9 oz.; Marmot - Aquifer 22 The 3-liter Hydrapak reservoir has a slosh-control baffle that separates to allow for easy cleaning and drying. liebherr backpackIt has a good bite valve with an easy flow, but make sure the pressure-fit hose attachment is sealed securely. kattee backpackOne tester accidently pulled the tube out and ended up with a pack full of water.backpack roxy murah Wide shoulder straps and a stiff framesheet can handle loads up to 20 pounds, but we wished for a beefier hipbelt for better load transfer.

The roll-top closure opens the packbag wide for easy loading and seals out rain better than the rest. It’s not submersible, but the PU coating on the fabric makes it highly water-resistant. It withstood a 45-minute deluge in Oregon. Thick foam on the shoulder straps and backpanel cushion big loads, but after a hot dayhike in Joshua Tree National Park, one tester’s back was pretty soaked.One of the biggest challenges for me before beginning my through hike was to decide on the core gear that I would carry. More specifically I was faced with the challenge as to the tent, bag and pack I would bring with me that could fit into a broke college kid’s budget. Would a clearance-rack bag from a discount outfitter fit my needs for the full 2,200 miles? What degree rating sleeping bag would I need? Should I switch to a lighter bag in the summer months or carry a liner in the cooler ones? Did I want to pay the big bucks for a popular ultralight tent or risk being rained out in a cheaper one-person?

All the research I’d put into making gear choices led to arguments in online forums with the same dead end answer: Hike your own hike. All in all I was able to find the happy medium in most cases: getting lighter gear without breaking the bank. I mean come on, if Earl Shaffer and Grandma Gatewood could live without the ultralight gear, so could I. (Many of the trail’s earlier pioneer’s gear is displayed in museums and outfitters along the way) I’ve made my decisions and so far I’ve been very pleased with everything, nothing’s leaked yet and I’ve yet to make a single repair to my core gear even after 1100 miles. These are the items I chose that I am still carrying: Köppen Lokal 1 Person Tent Now that I’ve said what works for me, let’s take a look at what other hikers are doing on the trail this year. The following information was collected from surveying over one hundred of this year’s (2014) through hikers. Overall Osprey took the definite lead when it came to preferred packs with a whopping 24%!

For male hikers the most common Osprey model was the Exos and for females the most common model was the Aura. Gregory Packs came in as a close second at 17% followed by Granite Gear 15%, REI 8% and GOLite 6%. The remaining 30% of hikers carried a wide variety of brands which includes homemade gear, external frames and modified pieces from other packs. The average size pack was about 65 liters. As it turns out I wasn’t the only hiker stressing over the tent issue. Surprisingly only 61% of hikers surveyed on the trail carried a tent. The remaining 39% was divided up into hammock campers (21%), tarp tenters (16%), and the 2% who didn’t carry anything and instead relied on staying in hostels and shelters. Of the tenters, the most common brand of tent I encountered was Big Agnes (mainly the Fly Creek) but that was closely followed by MSR (Hubba Hubba being the most prevalent) and REI’s Quarter Dome. Everyone seemed happy with their choice but many people (regardless of brand) said they wish they had traded the extra few grams of weight they saved for the space of the two person model.

The majority of the tarp tenters switched to a tarp at some point along the trail and did not start with them. The biggest complaint with tarp tenters was the lack of protection from insects. Of the hammock-ers, the most common brands seen were Hennessey and Eno. A few people switched between hammocks and tarps and tents for various reasons (to save weight, get more bug protection, etc). Keep in mind that these numbers only reflect what hikers carried with them and does not take into account how often they used the gear (versus staying in a shelter or cowboy camping). Here we saw the greatest diversity of the three gear articles surveyed. I found countless combinations on this subject: cold weather and warm weather bags were traded out, fancy thermal silk liners are used as were common bedsheets, quilts and thrift shop blankets. It really was a toss up as there are so many different brands and makes on the trail. The most common brands of actual sleeping bags I saw were Marmot, EMS, REI, RAB, Granite Gear, Eureka, Big Agnes, and Köppen.

Many people sent bags home and picked up cheap fleece blankets from Goodwill for the warmer Summer months. There was no significant difference between genders and sleeping bag preferences. The best thing about the trail is that there really isn’t one correct way to hike it. You’ll see endless combinations of high end and homemade gear and a million different ways to use the same equipment. The general consensus with gear is to use whatever works for you. Most gear companies are used to thru-hikers and can give you advice but it all comes down to your personal preference. Do you want a bivvy tent that you cannot sit up in to save the extra pounds or would you prefer a spacious tent with room for two? Are you a warm or cold sleeper? What can you handle? Whatever you choose bear in mind that things may need to be replaced along the way either because of preference, temperature, or wear and tear and if possible extra funds should be set aside accordingly. Just remember to hike your own hike and enjoy the ride!
