I was not that light overall, but for clothing I carried no extra  
pants, no extra shirts, no extra underwear. I think it's useless to  
bring extra anything, with the exception of socks. I had 3 pairs. I  
met a guy who had 14 pairs.

In my opinion, you don't want extras of anything. Instead, you want  
everything to serve more than one purpose, if possible.
