Yeah, she’s killin’ it. She’s also very tired. She’s cold-soaking her meals, not even carrying a stove. She’s hardcore.
I sent her a new pack. She finally wore out her Osorey Exos! That pack has way over 2000 miles on it. I guess the elastic was failing, the fabric was getting powdery/gummy in places if you know what I mean… cumulative UV being the main culprit, I’d think.
Sent her an ultralight Osprey we got straight from the company on clearance last year for $100… looks like a really nice pack. LIGHT. Sprung very similarly to the Exos. Hope it works out.
It’s on my list to start trying on the various Hokas and Topos and Altras and so on, if for no other reason than it would be good to know which, if any, fit me well. The Solomon’s sure do. I swear they took a cast of my feet while I was sleeping and made the last for the X-Ultra’s, and I get good service from them. I’m currently riding on the if it ain’t broke don’t fix it train.
