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.

very light weight but would depend on where you live and how cold your winters get. we live in Australia and this is perfect for our winters

Lowepro 400 aw is fine if you dont need to carry a lot of other hiking gear, just camera equipment. I ended up switching to using my frame backpack for hiking gear, and then putting my camera and 2-3 lenses in a Lowepro Top Loader 65AW that I wear in front on my chest

I agree with P. Strong. I carry the 17-40L and the 24-105L all the time. Ones on the 5D II and the others in a fanny pack. They are my walkabout stuff and get at least 70% of the pix.

Its light enough to backpack in, however, I wouldn't use this under 35 degrees.

Weight should be available on Amazon, but they are amazingly light. Length depends on your height--supplier needs to know your height and they adjust accordingly. If I remember correctly they sent me an email requesting my height. These are very light--Iwas simply delighted at their weight. This summer I took these backpacking. I have always used some staff (home made, wooden) or the adjustable aluminum ones. In either case, I would frequently find myself simply carrying it rather than using it. These are so light, I forget I'm using them.

The newer 14-140mm gives you a great range. It's what I carry when I am hiking.

It's pretty light! Maybe 10 lbs max? I'm not good at estimating, though...Still, it wasn't a problem to carry it for a while, even while hiking for 10-15 minutes.

I use mine for 3 night hikes, with my hammock, sleeping bag(in a compression sack, otherwise it wouldnt fit), stove, water filter, etc. Anymore than 3 nights i would suggest the next size up but i always push myself to go lightweight

Lighter weight. Better image. Works in a lot less light. The 50 is very inexpensive. I use the 85mm 1.8 quite a bit. Great lens, older metal version or newer plastic one.

I would consider this being a medium weight. It's not super heavy but it's lightweight either.

This pack will be great for a hike of that duration. My wife and I used one each on an overnight hike bringing WAY more than we needed and they were excellent.

I would recommend the 55. My son has the 55 and he is 5'-5" and 125lbs...he loves his. These packs are great for the money! Happy trails :)

It depends on what you hike on. Hard pack in the ADK's they will work fine. Not make for deep unpacked snow.

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.

I'm not sure of the exact weight. It is light. I bought this for my twelve year old daughter who is small framed. She carries it, no problem. A half mile seems like a good hike, but I think depending on their age it would be fine.

I think a large would be the minimum. Also depends on how much gear you have. I would probably select an extra large to be safe.
