Colorado Hiking in October Gearlist – Version 2

[Moze C]

Version 2, hopefully more organized and more complete.

I’m not overly worried on this trip about ultralight…I’ll figure that out as I go. More concerned about it being comprehensive.

Again, wide open to suggestions.

Well, that’s odd.

I was just out for a weekend backpack trip in southern CO and found my 10000 mAh bank was more than plenty to recharge my iPhone 6+ (in fact I used about 1/4 of the bank and probably didn’t need it at all). I used the phone for reading Kindle books, checking on our location in Gaia GPS, and pairing with the Garmin InReach to send some text messages home. As long as you aren’t tracking your route bread-crumb style you may find you could take just the spare phone battery or a smaller power bank. have fun!

Thank you for the response @rkpearson.

My Ambit3 Peak, my phone and my Sony cam will all need recharging, that’s why I went with the larger bank. The battery for my phone is a large, aftermarket 9000mAh battery. I also have the spare, which is a bit smaller.

What conditions is this for? If forecast is dry, then the filling do not apply.

It looks like clothes worn are missing? Will need to add those for good assessment.

For insulation, will just a Thermawrap be warm enough for you on cold evenings and mornings? In sustained rain everything you wear will become damp and you will also need something underneath your rain jacket, to keep the wet fabric off your body.

Combine these two and a case for a thin fleece addition, could be made. Maybe just a vest if you run truly hot. Or replace the Windshirt with a Patagonia Nano-Air light.

Rain-pants seem like a must. In 40F, wind and rain, you will get very cold, very quickly, without them. Even WITH a full rain suit you might get chilled.

Not sure what gloves you have, but having waterproof mtten shells and two liners is also not excessive, since the daytime gloves WILL get wet.

Fall weather in the mountains  is prime hypothermia country. if it rains(snows) continuously, my experience is that everything you wear becomes at least damp. Combine this with soaking wet face fabric and wind and you will need MUCH more insulation while moving then in dry weather. For me, I need about the same amount of clothing while moving at ~40F, wet, wind = 10F dry, sunny.

Andrew Skurka’s post on wet weather gear is a good start.
