The Voormi Women’s River Run Hoodie is a comfortable “around town” layer, and very light weight, which makes it a great addition for backpacking.

The Kora Beanie is comfortable and fits well. It is small and easy to pack – a versatile little piece of clothing.

Dirty Girl Gaiters will be great for desert hiking, and keeping out dirt and debris.

I spent some time debating between the ATR 5 and the Speedgoat, but ultimately went with the ATR 5 due to comfort, and larger toe box. The Speedgoat was a little too narrow for my foot, and the impact was a little stiffer, more like a running shoe.

I’ve tried every expensive, “breathable” rain jacket on the market. When hiking hard, I sweat in them all. I’ve decided to try the reasonably priced, silnylon, Light Heart jacket this time.
