We traveled to Nepal in October 2016 to hike to the Annapurna Base Camp in the Himalayas. Annapurna I (24,273') is the 10th highest mountain peak in the world. The base camp is only at 13,550' and is a gorgeous trek. This blog tracks our preparations for the trip and shares some thoughts on the adventure. Enjoy your travels.

Gear: Marmot Isotherm Hoody
When we went climbing in Colorado, our guide for the Mount Sneffels hike had on a bright blue Isotherm Hoody. He said it is his go-to jacket for all seasons. He wore it most of the day as his outer jacket for our chilly ascent of Sneffels. He said it is also great in the winter for ice climbing. With such rave reviews from a professional guide, I decided I better try this jacket out for myself. I managed to get it on sale in Team Red color. This jacket is super soft and provides plenty of room for active movement. The Isotherm uses synthetic fill similar to the Patagonia Nano. The Isotherm (16 oz) is warmer than the Nano (7.6 oz) but also weighs about twice as much.
