These are a combination of 3oz climashield insulation, a nylon taffeta from aliexpress, and a little bit of bug netting as mesh. At 188g or 6.63oz, these are INSANELY WARM for their weight. My goodness. These are mostly in camp … Continue reading “MYOG Insulated Winter Pants [188g / 6.63oz]” →
Same deal as the shirt but less flexible, IMO, because warm leggings don’t fill as much of a use case for a typical backpacker doing longer days / less camp time. These have been stellar for winter hiking + snowboarding … Continue reading “MYOG Midweight Leggings [227g / 8oz]” →
This is a 4-way stretch grid mid-weight fleece active layer. I grabbed this material on discount from Seattle Fabrics. This is a surprisingly warm and comfortable material with a lot of stretch. I’ve worn this snowboarding and shoulder season / … Continue reading “MYOG Warm Active Shirt Layer [261g / 9.2oz]” →
I used really cheap aliexpress tafetta nylon for these and they’re amazing. This fabric breathes more than hyperD or any other breathable fabric that I have seen. I use elastic cordage for the foot and waist band and that’s it. … Continue reading “MYOG Wind Pants [42g / 1.48oz]” →
This is a simple rain skirt made from a pair of Frogg Togg rain pants. Cut them to your desired length, then cut the channel that combines the legs and you’re done. Max 5 minutes of effort for an extremely … Continue reading “MYOG Rain Skirt [65g / 2.29oz]” →

Born to run barefoot? How about only 4mm of rubber between you and what you’re walking on! These are the Xero 4mm DIY huaraches sandal kit in size 12.
I used nonstretchy thick mesh, a 50 SPF woven wicking sunproof material, 1/8” CCF foam, 1” elastic, a bit of cordage and a cinch lock I can sew into the hat with ribbon. Old hat was 101g, this one is … Continue reading “MYOG Sun Hat [59g / 2.08oz]” →
6.06oz right now (needs trimming as you’ll see). Used a light weight 4way stretch microgrid fleece. It’s a tight fit but for this sort of material, I like that. This is more stretchy than my patagonia quarter zip hoodie and … Continue reading “4-Way Stretch Microgrid Upper Active or Warm Layer” →
I have the whole process recorded — modeling/stencils/patterns, cutting supplies, prep, sewing it all together. For now, though, please just enjoy some images of the finished product. Materials: 100wt PolarTech Fleece (under 1/2 yard) 1/16” elastic shock cord tiny cord … Continue reading “MYOG Fleece Balaclava with Eye Mask” →
