    Sleeping Bags

    https://enlightenedequipment.com/revelation/ This is the "bag" I used for Sept/Oct. I got the 40 deg F quilt. It is extremely light weight and IMO the highest quality quilt made. Many Albergues and hotels DO NOT heat the rooms. So, when it's cold out you will get a chill while walking. You may...

    Gaiters useful ?

    I used em in 2012 and they were great. Keep the feet dry when many around me walked in wet boots. This year I'm gambling on the GTX working. We'll see.

    what is your "have to have " rain gear ?

    Rain jacket, rain pants, pack cover and my extra cloths, sleeping bag, etc in silnylon bags. Some may not care about wet legs, however, wet socks mean blisters.. Get ultralite versions of the rainwear and the weight and volume are just fine

    Pack Weight

    Get rid of the 10% "rule". Seriously, DO NOT WEIGH your pack, its meaningless and too many folks focus on it. Take what you need based on recommendations, research and practicality. Look at the experienced pack lists and make a judgement on what to carry. The pack will weigh what the pack will...

    Sleeping Bag April/May

    As stated above, it sounds like you're a cold sleeper. So, I'd be taking a 'bag' of some sort. Take a look @ this http://www.enlightenedequipment.com/prodigy/ You can select the warmth rating you like and it's extremely lite. I have a down version and it is confortable. I can use it as a...

    Backpacks

    IMO, if you will be using this pack for other uses besides the CDS, get a larger pack that will cover that need. For a CDs specific pack that I know I will not be overloading, I went with the exos 48. I have other packs for more weight.

    Backpacks

    In 2012 I used a 60l Blaze by Granitegear. I still have it and its a great pack. Well built and designed. I really didn't need the extra room though. 60l is a lot for the CDS unless I'm camping. It's still my go to sierra backpack. For this May CDS, I bought the Osprey Exos 48l and I gotta say...
