I hiked it last year mid August & I'm hiking it again this mid August ( hopefully we'll cross paths). I don't weigh my cloths but here's what I bring. 1 short sleeve dry tech shirt, 1 pair convertable pants,1 running shorts, 2 wicking boxer briefs, 1 patagonia fleece, 1 rain jacket/wind shell,1 marmot Zues down jacket, 1 neck gaiter/also used as a hat,i pair of fleece gloves. 2 pairs of short Thorlo running socks. I use trail runner so I don;t carry camp shoes. Have a Great Hike!! ~boots~

sorry, also 1 pair of thick wool camp socks

[Jagger]

hey wornout boots, thanks for the compairison. Looks similar to mine. Maybe will see you on trail...faxed app yesterday and should know Monday on permits. I know I could go with only one pair shorts and one t-shirt, but for sure I want something to swim in, sleep in, "town in" so 6.5/6.0 oz is ok for me. Can't do without camp shoes and I've tried everything and about 12oz is best I can do.

While not specific to the JMT, this is what I normally take on trips into the High Sierra from June to September. I've seen it snow in every month of the summer in the Sierra Nevada over the years. However, if only going out for 2-3 days when the forecast is known to be good, I may drop a few layers.

Carried:
Terramar LW HelixCrew LS (M) 5.4oz.
Terramar LW Helix Pants (M) 4.9oz.
Zpacks CF Rain Jacket (L) 4.7oz.
MLD eVENT Rain Mitts (M) 0.9oz.
MH PowerStretch Balaclava 1.3oz.
WM Flash Vest (L) 4.6oz. (more for a pillow then cold weather)
2 pairs of WrightSocks (Low Runner) at 1.1oz.
Montbell Tachyon wind Jacket (L) 1.8oz.
Zpacks CF Rain Skirt 1.1oz.
Simblissity UL Bug Head Net 0.4oz.
MSR UL Towel(sm) 0.6oz.

Worn (all treated with Permithrin for the bugs):
REI Sahara Conv. Pants 12.6oz.
RR River Madison LS Shirt(M) 6.6oz.
ExOfficio Lo Briefs 2.0oz.
WrightSock (Low Runner) 1.1oz
Tilley LMT6 Hat 3.5oz.

I may be out on the JMT and the Tahoe Rim Trail over the summer if I have to split my 4 weeks of vacation in half (none taken last year) instead of taking 4 straight weeks to continue the AT south from Mass. Though the nights are colder, my own preference to hike in the Sierra Nevada is in September after Labor day.
