Mid-weight or light-weight? Would like for hiking in 45-65*.

My XS of Minus33 Merino Wool Men's Isolation Midweight 1/4 Zip weights 240 g, I got sweated while riding bike in winter.

For that temp range mid-weight would be way too much for me. I would go for several light layers. Your insulation needs will vary widely during hiking, resting etc. so it will be the old story of layer up and layer down.

Might want a lighter weight, this stuff is pretty warm when you are exercising.

Each person is different and their tolerance to climate is going to be different. I tend to overheat easily and found that 45-65 with this product is great. It keeps me cool in the warmer weather and warm in the colder weather. However 65 might be the extreme of this weight. I would suggest a light weight merino wool base layer if you are going to be in 60+ degree weather. You can always strip down a layer but it is hard to strip off your base layer :)

More lightweight. I am hot sweaty hiker so I would easily wear in 40s 50s. Not sure about 60s hiking. I commonly wear it over a wicking t shirt on cool mornings on the way to school from mid 30s to 60s. I will say I feel it is way more flexible temperature wise than similar weight polyester wicking shirt. I love it and have placed 2 more colors on my Amazon wish list. I hope this helps. Karl.

Stephanie - That's a tough one. Most packs adjust for someone's size, even someone little like you. I think the key is how much can you carry and still be efficient on your hike or camping trip. The bigger the pack, the more stuff you'll bring, the heavier it would be. I think if you purchase a pack larger than 50 liters, it may be too difficult to keep up and haul that much weight if you fill it.

I used this bag on a backpacking trip into Glacier National Park this summer and it was perfect. It's lightweight and packs up small enough to fit into the sleeping bag compartment of my pack. Not sure about the 20 degree rating. It was in the low 40s for me and I was comfortable. You may want a liner if it gets much colder than that.

You will need a bigger backpack, 65 ltr is best for 5'5" - 5'7" with minimum gear, look at 75 ltr or bigger. Sorry I took so long to answer.

The 55-210 should fit your needs. It takes time to get accustomed to the added weight but the added flexibility is terrific.

No problem for a day hike but out of question for a multi day hike unless you have a sherpa... Take a light head to go with it. It weights about 2kg. You'd carry about 10 kg on a day hike and max 20 kg for a three day hike. I would say it depends how much of a sweat you are prepared to give for that one shot. That being said the possibilities are endless to position your kit with this beauty.

They are sturdy and light... But lately I've been using the heavier REI 7075-T6 aluminum alloy Traverse PowerLock Cork Trekking Poles. They seem to be stronger and since I do a lot of off-trail hiking I feel more secure with these. My website is ArizonaTrekking.com

I highly recommend it. I also do long distant, ultralight hiking. I think it's several ounces, but it's definitely worth it.

I would recommend the same one I purchased, which is the one I wrote the I review on - 1.5-2.0 ponds by Canyon. I am 5.0, but weigh slightly more than you.

Don't see why not! I'm 5'10" and have several hundred miles section hiking AT without any problems. Would think any woman who wants to carry 5-7 day resources could handle the Teton. 40#-55# can be packed in the three internal spaces and lots of external attachment points also available. Might not be appropriate for "girl" still in teens. Watch the movie "Wild" and go for it! R/Alan

the weight of this product itself isn't that much, but make sure that it need powerbank to save energy. So, totally it almost weigh 1kg, I guess. It doens't make you feel heavy in hiking. one thing I want you to consider is that if the weather condition is not steady(cloudy or going into the shade of wood) I will not want you to do. Anyway I hope this help.

My sons used the Coyote 80 for Philmont which was a 10 day 80 mile backpacking trip, but their body frames are a fair bit smaller than yours. I also accompanied them and am comparable in size 6'0", 200lb and used the Kelty Red Cloud 90. It worked out great. You may also want to look at the Red Cloud 110.

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up. How much do you weigh?

That seems like it would be the better choice. I'm not sure if there's a weight difference between the 25 and the 27 but seems in your case the 25 would be better suited for you.

Hey there, right now I'm running a D800 with a 24-70mm and there is still a weight left so it should be ok. I am assuming the 80-200mm should be similar in weight. That being said, if size and portability is not a concern I would suggest a glide cam for smoother gliding. Else the steadicam is unbeatable for travelling.

it's not as heavy as my Norwegian military wool socks but they are not lite hikers either I wore mine deer hunting in NE pa. with high quality uninsulated Gor-Tex boots, was warm enough, they fit tight no seams and with adequate cushion. I'm happy.

I would get a 55, I am 5'11" 170 Ibs and it is snug on me. If you plan on using it a lot and not carrying it hours on end the 65 may be good but since the 65 fits me pretty snug the 55 may be better suited for you. Hope that helps.
