SandalsG list 2: This my gear for 2-4 days hikes/cycling expeditions (off monsoon).
1/8" sleeping pad trimmed (similar to GG thinlite)
Sleeping bag (very compact)
Small torch
Toilet requisites
merino wool Pullover
small Towel
Trek pant
plate & spoonThats my gear. Those who use or have used golite ion, do you think both these list will fit into ion? I am new here and need all the advice I can get. If you any suggestions please tell me. Thanks
Jan 1, 2008 at 7:47 pm #1414493You can create a very rough simulation of the ion by using an old garbage bag, some math and duct tape. Check this out:
Jan 1, 2008 at 8:14 pm #1414500What about water and food? You will have to take that into consideration. At 1500ci and no mesh pockets or straps the ion seems to be a very specialized pack for very good weather. If it was me I would get something more versatile, like the Jam 2. Just my 2 cents.
Jan 1, 2008 at 8:55 pm #1414502IMO what you listed will fit (if that's all). I've fit a sub 5lbs gear list and 30k calories in an Ion plus 2.5 liters of water. It's got to be compact though for sure.
Jan 2, 2008 at 10:25 pm #1414658thanks for all replies. I think 1500cc will fit my gear or rather I have to find gear thats fits into my 1500cc pack.
