Marmot - Quasar Jacket - It was fantastic to have the use of the Quasar jacket as it’s super light and weight was critical on this trip. If the weather had really turned on us and we’d had cold days on the river, wearing this at the end of day would have been essential. I also used this jacket to boost my meagre excuse for a sleeping bag!

Marmot Pack Aquifer 24 - Once I aligned the mouldable shank with my back along the inside of the pack, it was a comfortable fit. Nice and light with a single sack as the main compartment and enough space in the lid pocket for more accessible items. The exterior pockets were extremely useful, perhaps the front exterior pocket could use the same stretchy material as the side exterior pockets to allow the user to stuff more items in easily. Side compression straps helped with making pack more streamlined with small loads.

Marmot Super Mica Jacket - Muel and I used the Super Mica Jacket. We needed an extremely lightweight waterproof shell to wear both on the bike and in the packrafts. The Super Mica performed extremely well in both pursuits.
