That is true.  I am broke.  At least, my body is broke right now.  I have decided to keep my Breeze pack for the PCT.  It is working out very nicely on training hikes.  I am beginning to feel like Ray Jardine.  :-)
 
By the way, here is something very interesting.  Nunatak (nunatakusa.com) has just announced a new sleeping system.  It is an 8 ounce sleeping bag to go with their down sweater, which I already have.  I might get one.  It is made with .85 oz./yd. super light shell fabric.
 
Sounds something like a elephant foot bag, but that is fine with me if it works well with the down sweater.  My sweater is modified extra long with a hood too.  That's even better.
 
I was also thinking of two silk liners together as an overbag for this system.  That would be about 12 ounces for two silk liners.  Under my bug netting shelter, that should be very good protection from wind and chill.  I use a full length foam pad too.  This makes a big difference in comfort and warmth on the trail.

P.S. Here is something to think about: God works in mysterious ways.
I asked for strength...and the trail gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom...and the trail gave me problems to solve.
I asked for courage...and the trail gave me danger to overcome.
I asked for love...and the trail gave me people in need.

On Switchback last post he stated he had 1 Go Lite Breeze and it will become a collector item since GoLite will no longer make them. Switchback is welling to sell his for $500.00. Switchback neglected to add three zeros he really had 1,000 Breeze bags. He has been able to sell all 1,000 for $500.00 each or a profit of $5000,000.00. He is now in Vegas at last report he is broke.  Don't worry Switchback will come up with a new scheme. Since I was in the Navy he is thinking  about making Cameo bell bottoms trousers for hiking..

I noticed that GoLite is no longer  carrying the Ray Jardine designed Breeze 
pack.  This makes these historic  packs very valuable and rare collector 
items.  You to can have one of these  exclusive packs for your hiking pleasure or 
your collection of hiking  memorabilia.  I would be willing to sell my used 
Breeze pack to some lucky  hiker for $500.  I would use your money for a new 
GossamerGear Mariposa  pack (when it comes out in stealth color) and a Nunatak 
Ghost bag in Epic fabric  and extra wide.  

I promise not to use your money for  trail town partying, pillaging, and 
plundering.  Well, may be just a tiny  little bit.

Thank you for your  attention.

Your hiking buddy, Switchback
