What this trip asks of your gear

Farpoint and Fairview are the pair Osprey already cuts as siblings. Share the toiletries and the daypack so you do not carry two of every bottle.

Luggage

Two 40 L siblings, or one 40 L and one 28 L if you share cubes.

Shoes

A zero-drop trail shoe. The waterproof boot and the mid GTX are the wet or cold days.

Shirts

A light hoodie you can rinse. The sun shirt and the trail tee are the exposed day.
