OK Honestly, below is what I take. And I am very, very comfy with it. I have been in deluges, and weathered slight snow with this set up. I have also been a little too warm with this set up in the summer. And if you notice I have quite the list of clothing taken, not worn. When I made this list I pulled everything out and wrote it up as If I was packing it, so as to give a true base weight and not leave anything out. Hence even the calcutlation fo rtp on a 3-4 day trek. I hope this is honest enough for you, becaue it doesn't get much more honest.
