In the Mountain West, rain events tend be to fast and furious, and humidity is never high personally, my hands generally run cold and hand sweat is not typically a concern. In the scheme of things, I would not factor price heavily into my decision.Īs far as fabics, I would consider the environment (temps, humidity, rainfall intensity) and your individual hands.

Share your ideas, and tell me what you think of it. To determine the relevance of each product category, research the likely conditions, review trip-specific gear lists, and seek commentary on your selections. For example, for a summertime Appalachian Trail section-hike, you don’t need insulated pants or an ice axe, but you may want both for a John Muir Trail thru-hike in early-June. So that this template is broadly applicable, it includes many items that would be optional or completely unnecessary for your specific trip - but critical for others.
