Brynn:
One thing I’ve spent a long time thinking about is what I should pack for this trip. I’m only going to be carrying a 32 L backpack (Black Diamond Demon) so already my choices are limited.
Here’s what I’ve narrowed it down to.
Clothes:
- 2 pairs of zip-off pants/shorts. I have MEC’s Prana Tenaya and Mountain Hardwear’s Corsica Convertible Pants
- 1 pair of Adidas capris (Clima 365)
- 2 Nike quick dry tank tops
- 2 Nike quick dry t-shirts
- 1 Nike quick dry long sleeve shirt
- 2 pairs of Underarmor shorts (3 inch length and capri)
- 1 zip up sweater
- 3 sports bras and 1 regular bra
- 6 pairs of MEC travel underwear
- 3 pairs of Nike quick dry socks
- 2 headbands
- bathing suit
- rain jacket (MEC Hydrofoil Lightweight Rain Jacket)
- 1 pair of sneakers (Nike Free)
- 1 pair of birkenstocks
- 1 pair of flip flops
