Hi all,
Looking at my gear setup for glacier NP mid august-sep 1st (Belly river country, two medicine, possibly north fork), hoping I could get some advice:
Sleeping bag:
Currently I'm packing a long Sierra Designs Zissou 23 w/dridown (35 oz) Looking at a possible replacement for this that would be significantly lighter (at least 1/2 a lb) and comparable in warmth or slightly warmer. Based on old threads I see that going with a synthetic bag due to the moistness of the climate has been recommended – would dridown cut it? My budget would allow for ~$350 or ideally $275 or less. It will be used for several backpack trips ranging from 3 to 4 nights with breaks in between. I will be pairing it w/ a Exped Synmat UL 7.
Tent:
Considering tarptent rainshadow 2 (will be w/ two friends). Will it be too breezy?
Layers: Merino top + bottom. I have seen down puffies rec so I was planning to bring that as well.
Raingear: Driducks pants/jacket.
Backpack: Osprey exos 48.
Pack Cover + Pack Liner: Recommendations on this? I want lightweight + solid protection of contents from moisture – not planning on bushwhacking.
