PS - Durston and Bearikade never go on sale for new products, the demand is just too high at full retail price. Your best hope would be the second hand market, but there’s aren’t many there and they get snapped up quickly.

Thank you all for your input. ?After reading reviews and watching tons of pitching videos, I have decided on the Durston XMid 2 Pro and the Bearikade Blazer. ?

On the backpack, I am torn between two packs, both are significantly lighter than my current Gregory Deva 60.
- Gossamer Gear Mariposa, which I would end up getting based on reviews and talking with other hikers I met on the trail, and which is pricier
- OR REI Flash 55, which I can try out at REI, is less expensive, but also 11 oz heavier
Do Durston, Bearikade, or Gossamer Gear ever have discounts or sales?
