I am looking to cut some large amounts of weight from my Ridgerunner setup by switching to a gathered end, in preparation of an AT thru hike attempt next March. The Hexon 1.0 is an extremely appealing weight, but, will it be comfortable enough? The Hexon 1.6 adds about 4.5-5 ounces, which feels like quite a bit at this point in my weight-shaving. Any 1.0 advocates out there who can give me some positive vibes about pulling the trigger, or am I better off sucking it up and carrying the extra ounces of the 1.6? For reference, (or critique/tips) the rest of my base weight will include; ULA OHM 2.0, Warbonnet Yeti 20°, Hammock Gear Cuben Fiber Standard with doors, Loco Libre 20° topquilt, 12' 2.2 kevlar straps, Snow Peak LiteMax stove, Toaks Light 550 cook pot, plus first aid, etc. Thanks for the help, folks.
