I have been going through some pictures and guides, but still can't get a good idea for the trail type. What percentage of the VdlP is paved (enough for a touring bike or skateboard)?
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
To my great sadness and regret, I have just had to abandon my attempt at the VdlP due to severe blistering and the atrocious weather. You might be OK on a mountain bike ... but a skateboard would, I think, be ridiculous!
Buen camino from a Cyber house in Santiago (fairly steady light rain showers, and frequent torrential downpours.)

Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.
Stephen, I understand how you feel. I also had to abandon the vdlp because of extreme heat and lack of water resources. Someday (in Springtime!) I will finish.
