***Krystle ordered 5/15/15 (expected to arrive mid/late June):
*gaiters
****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
*watch
****Torso Height: Shortest (18 inches) - as per measurements & email to Zpacks

***Krystle ordered [http://www.amazon.com/Altra-Womens-Superior-1-5-Running/dp/B00F36Y930 Altra Superior 1.5] on 5/14
***[http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Trail-Running-Shoes-Reviews/Saucony-Peregrine-5 Saucony Peregrine 5]
****Joe recommended - many people used them on JMT & PCT, zero drop but thicker sole than Vivos, better for rocky Sierras terrain
**camp/alternate (flip flops? chacos? barefoots?)
****Someone somewhere on the Internet said Superior dries more quickly than Lone Peak, but I did not confirm; these seem meshy and quick drying though.
 
****Superior 2.0 is more expensive and looks so blocky and I have skinny feet so
*Shelter
****I love the velcro in the back for gaiters
**Option A: Standalone tent
**camp shoes (flip flops? xeros?)
*** Big Agnes Jack Rabbit SL2 (note: apply additional waterproofing)
***also for stream crossings

**Option B: A-frame catenary tarp + bivy
****Could save a little weight by using my titanium stakes, how many stakes does this tent actually need? Come with 10 that weigh 5.1 oz total, my 6 weigh 1.3 oz
***Tarp: Mountain Laurel Designs Grace Tarp ([http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Ultralight-Tent-Reviews/Mountain-Laurel-Designs-Grace-Tarp-Duo OGL review])
