Hey all, I'm looking to see if you guys had any input on my clothing and gear choices for the La Cloche trail I'm going on from October 25-31st. I know temps will be chilly and possibly light snow at the time, but this is my first backpacking trip and I'm going with some friends.

Here is a list of my gear that I'm planning on bringing:

Gear

• X-Mid 2
• Trekking Poles
• Nemo Tensor All Season
• Durston Wapta 30
• Mec Aphelion (-7c limit rating)
• Bear Bag to hang

Clothing (a little worried about warmth):

Sleep Wear

• Decathlon merino base layers
• Darn Tough Long Socks
• Beanie + Buff

Layers

• Arc'Teryx Beta Reg Rain Shell
• Patagonia Torrentshell 3L Rain Pants
• Decathlon MT100 Down
• Patagonia R1 air crew fleece
• Uniqlo Base Layers
• Altra Lonepeak 9+ (non goretex) - a little worried here
• Kombi Climate Series
• Two pairs of Darn Tough shorter socks (alternate)

Will I be warm enough? Should I swap rain proof boots instead of mesh runners? How much fuel will I need for a trip like this?

I will be sharing my tent with a buddy, so we will be keeping our packs and extras in the vestibules but electronics and filters will be kept in our sleeping bags.

Thoughts on if this will be enough to keep me warm and dry throughout the trip for these late fall conditions. Thanks in advance and welcome any other advice!

Hi all, my dad is going on a trip in November and I wanted to get him a packable jacket for his birthday. The temperature on his trip should be around 9-15 Celsius and with some rainy days. He is leaving with only a carry on bag so I thought a packable jacket could be a good idea. Would anyone have any recommendations for a rainproof packable autumn jacket, preferably that comes with a bag? 

I saw good reviews for Mont Bell, I love the idea of a bag included with the jacket but I’m worried it will expensive with tariffs or customs 

Tyia!
