    ~ The hat is a synthetic head-sweats brand.

    ~ The hoodie is a synthetic patagonia SPF lightweight hoodie (not sure if they still make it, but it's awesome)

  • Great video Mike! I use the Patagonia Sun Hoody in my ultralight system and I love it so much I wear it almost everyday! Patagonia did add a Roo pocket in the version I have but still only weighs 8.5oz.

  • I have the book and watched this video, but I started to laugh at myself on a recent day hike I took where I had to remove my fleece pullover while hiking and it was off and in the day pack before I even realized I had used that last tip to do it! Great tip!

  • @ahmadalfaqih Looks like a montbell hat. Headsweats makes great hats w/ the clip too.

  • Hey what is the brand of that hoodie you show early in the video? Great video btw.

  • Awesome tips, really beneficial. What type of baseball cap is that in the video? I really like that clip on idea.

  • Nice presentation, Mike.  Was that a Houdini?

  • Great info there. Thanks for your videos. I want to share something with you if I can get this Link on here. Probably one of the most interesting things I've read in years and related to this video of yours.

    Hope you can figure this out and read this I think you'll like it.

  • great advice! Most people don't demonstrate the layering, they just talk about it. Thanks.
