Pack

• • Zpacks ArcBlast
    • 30 lb weight limit
  • $295 + extras
  • ordered 5/15/15 (expected to arrive mid/late June):
    • Volume: 52 Liters - it was this or 60, close call, both will fit a standard bear can, I thought 60 might be a bit too bulky for me
    • Color: All Army Green w/ Black accents - was tempted by orange and indigo but was swayed by green being a good stashing color
    • Torso Height: Shortest (18 inches) - as per measurements & email to Zpacks

Shoes

• main shoes - Altra Superior 1.5
  • Joe recommended - many people used them on JMT & PCT, zero drop but thicker sole than Vivos, better for rocky Sierras terrain
• camp/crossing/alternate shoes - Vivobarefoot Breatho Trail
• 2-3 pairs of socks, probably smartwool PhD or Darn Tough
  • test to make sure I don't need liners or bring coolmax liners just in case
  • all same brand for interchangeability, except maybe the sleeping pair
• gaiters (Dirty Girl FTW!)
