Hi, I’m Paul Ryken from Minimalist Journeys. How can I help?
Summary
For Patagonia hiking, I don’t have a single “Patagonia-specific” list, but my setup is built for exactly those cold, wet, windy conditions and comes from our all-seasons minimalist kit.
Key items I rely on are:
- Layers: Unbound Merino t‑shirts, Unbound Merino Compact Travel Hoodie, Macpac Uber Light Down Vest
- Shell: Patagonia Torrentshell 3L rain jacket
- Pants: Patagonia Quandary Pants (plus Quandary Shorts for warmer days)
- Buff Merino neckwear, Icebreaker Pocket Hat, Icebreaker Quantum gloves
- Lightweight hiking shoes, merino socks (currently Fox River)
If you tell me when you’re going (season and typical temps), I can turn this into a concrete packing list for your trip – would that help?
