    Mid Layer

    I’m leaving for my first camino on April 20th. After extensive research, I decided on the Patagonia R1 Daily Zip-Neck Pullover. It’s so comfortable and stretchy.

    Hoka speed goat 5 vs hoka anacapa breeze also a sock question

    The Breeze version of the Anacapa was only just released this week so not sure if anyone has had time to try them out yet. I tried numerous Hoka models - Stinson, Challenger 7, Speedgoat 5, and Clifton 8 - before settling on the Speedgoat 5. I love how lightweight and breathable it is. I‘m...

    Hoka Shoe Owners: Speedgoat 5 or the Bondi 8?

    My predicament is actually Speedgoat 5 or the brand new Challenger 7? Both feel good on my feet but the thought of making the wrong decision with which ones to go with is majorly stressing me out.

    Water on the Frances Camino

    Does anyone have any experience using the hybrid method that thru-hikers often use? A lot of ultralight backpackers utilize 1L Smartwater bottles or similar and retrofit some hydration tubing with a bite valve through the sport cap hole. An additional modification can be made to add an inline...
