Danny’s pack is filled with some of the best in adventure clothing.  All of the clothes are light-weight and quick-drying.  Most are also odor resistant for those unfortunate days where we don’t have an opportunity to change.  It isn’t much, but it is my entire wardrobe.

• Tops
  • ExOfficio Trip’r Shirt – One short sleeve, one long sleeve; both with zippered pockets. This thing wicks, vents, and has waffles ready for me when I wake up in the morning…but only if I take it off before bed.
  • T-shirts – Always super wicking, also withstanding hurricane force winds and can repel Superman’s X-Ray vision.  One from Ex-Officio and the other from Mountain Hardware.
  • Mountain Hardware Polo – Traded some of the T-Shirts for nicer looking wicking polos.  This is easily my most comfortable shirt.
  • ExOfficio Pol0 – Very comfortable, wickable, and not smellyable. 
• Bottoms
  • Convertible Pants – I have three pairs of convertible pants. Pants or shorts…plenty durable no matter what. One pair is ExOfficio, one was North Face, the canvas pair is REI.  I had a pair from Columbia but these wore out very quickly.  I’ve replaced that North Face one with a cheaper/better pair from REI.
  • Gym Shorts – For the gym, for exercising, for sleeping…you decide.
  • ExOfficio Boxer Briefs – Wear, Wash, Repeat. Doesn’t get any simpler than that. I have two pairs. I also have a pair of Under Armor undies, a pair of REI  undies,  as well as EMS performance undies.  review
  • Money Belt – Looks like a belt. Holds my pants up. Has a secret pocket on the inside.
• Feet
  • Chaco Sandals – What I wear on most days…these sandals are better than most sneakers.  review
  • Vasque Mantra XCR - My new boots.  A bit heavier than the Salomons but I wasn’t really jogging much anyhow.  These are waterproof though which will be a big help climbing Kilimanjaro!
  • Salomon Exit Aero Hikers – I loved these and although they were still “kicking” they didin’t look like they’d make it through Africa.
  • Smartwool Socks – There are tons of varieties. These are lightweight and handle water and sweat well but are also thick enough to provide support.  I have a thick pair for hiking and a thin pair for running.  For heavy hiking
• Everything Else
  • Gregory Z55 Backpack – This pack holds everything for me. Small enough to be carry-on baggage on an airplane, sit on my lap on a bus, and folds up and fits inside my pocket. review
    Sierra Designs Hurricane Jacket - While the REI fleece lined jacket was great, it didn’t serve our purposes.  We decided to go with a rain jacket and fleece combination instead.
  • REI Polartec Fleece – Left this in the USA, Africa just isn’t as cold as the Andes.
  • REI One Jacket – This one didn’t make the cut.  A great jacket  it is now stored safely in the USA.  Ultimately we realized the two pieces I have now for rain and warmth do a better job than the one jacket did…and take up the same space too.
