you might want a heavier pair of zip off pants as well. And you will definitely want to plan to have at least 2 pair with you. One to wear while hiking, the other to wear when you get into camp. You are likely to encounter a lot of rain early, and a dry pair of shell pants will be a god send.
When are you starting?
How long is this hike going to be for?

Is that jacket rainproof? Are the pants rainproof?
thats a good idea ill get another pair of more protective pants. Yeah the jacket and pants are rainproof as for my startdate it will be april 4th
When you wash your pants you will need a pair of shorts to wear.
Also, how about a bandanna and a pair of camp shoes.
In addition to the beanie, I would also like to have a baseball cap with a good sun visor.

This is what I read on the REI website about the jacket.

Yeah, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure about the Compressor.
I think you should probably have a "real" rain shell.
