Went on a short Trip to test out a new Backpack and Socks I got.
The Backpack is a Jack Wolfskin Highland Trail 55+5 Men. The Socks are the Injinji Trail Midweight Mini-Crew.
The Jack Wolfskin Highland has 30L more volume than my old Backpack from Mammut. I used the Mammut Creon Tour for a multiday hike. Served the purpose well for doing a hut hike, where you don’t need to carry your own food or a tent. The next multiday hike will not be a hut hike though. So more capacity is needed. To test the Backpack it weight 13,2 kg. The shoulder and waist straps are fairly comfortable. One thing I learned, maybe use some tape on the hips till my body is used to the load.
I bought the Socks because the last multiday Hike blessed me with terrible blisters around the toes. A common tip is to tape the toes. Also Hirschtalg is often mentioned. Taping the toes seemed really excessive so I opted for toe socks. I have to admit the Socks felt weird. Even after a 6 hour hike they felt strange. But no blisters or harsh spots. Definitly worth it so far.
You can find the Tour on my Komoot Profile.
At last, some impressions from the tour.
