I thru hiked the AT this year.
In GA, I used an UQ and sock , although I had trouble using the sock. (I ditched that after several tries.)
After I got half way through NC, I sent my UQ home and used a Z lite.
this was a really great set up until I got into VT and NH.
The Z lite hung up on trees and rocks and it felt like I was being pushed from behind. NOT FUN!! -esp with those climbs.
So I switched to a Neo Air Trekker thru VT, NH and Maine.
It was the best set up ever, esp with a couple of downpours that I either had to take a break at a shelter or sleep in the shelter due to so much rain.
It was only a couple of times though.
