Planning on thru hiking the PCT next year. Ill be going northbound and am looking for some feedback on my current clothing ideas. One main question is rain gear in California. Would it be beneficial to take both a rain jacket and a windshirt or should I just take the rain jacket and hope it will break the wind enough?
Montbell EX Light Down Jacket – 5.7 oz
OR Helium II – 6.4 oz
Patagonia Houdini – 4.3 oz
North Face Paramount Peak Convertible Pants – 2O oz
Icebreaker BodyFit 26O 1/2 Zip Top – 12 oz
Icebreaker BodyFit 15O Apollo T-Shirt [x2] – 11 oz
Icebreaker 15O Long Underwear Top and Bottom – 16 oz
Ex-Officio Give-n-Go Boxer Brief [x2] – 5 oz
Haven't decided on specific socks and hats yet but wanted to get the major components of my clothing system down first. Im not looking to go ultralight because I would like some solid comfort and am in shape enough to carry the extra load, but would be open to losing some ounces.
Thanks for the much needed feedback!
