What's lightest out there today?
One criteria, the top has to have a hood.Thanks.
Mar 27, 2011 at 5:01 pm #1715620But I've seen some DIY Cuben jackets too.
Mar 27, 2011 at 8:25 pm #1715748Maybe Camp Magic Anorak for top.
Mar 27, 2011 at 8:34 pm #1715750Yeah, I've been looking at the Tachyon combo and the Camp Magic combo…I think I'll be going with the Tachyon/Dynamo combo based on the reviews here.
Thanks folks.
Mar 29, 2011 at 9:49 am #1716598though I'm not generally one to pitch North Face, their Verto is a full-zip hooded shell @ ~3oz. not sure about the accuracy of the scale I used, but weighed a medium at under 3 oz.
Mar 31, 2011 at 2:08 pm #1717918I ordered from backcountrygear.com on Sunday night and received these today (Fast!!)
PERFECTION!!!!! EXACTLY what I was looking for.
I'm really blown away by what a good combo they are; perfect fit, the hood on the anorak is excellent, both are super minimal and crazy light.
Packed down, they both are only a little bigger than a tennis ball and weigh 5.8 oz. in XL, including stuff sack.I'm crossing J-Tree solo tomorrow, can't wait to use them.
Thanks for mentioning them in the posts above; I forgot BPL reviewed them.
