Vaucluse Backpack Ventilation Gear

Warm weather is officially here. Last Saturday morning, I took a fantastic 7-mile hike through the Greenbelt outside Austin, Texas, with a hiking group of around 15 people.

I brought my Deuter Speed Lite 32L pack on the three-hour hike. Of course, the backpack is bigger than what I needed for a half-day hike, but I wanted to put my Cool-Dry Frame to the test with a large pack.

The weather was moderately warm, but the humidity would be high. The perfect recipe for sweat! If you are going to hike in Texas, you better be ready for the humidity.

I strapped my Cool-Dry Frame onto my backpack, and the Sweat Check began.

As I mentioned previously, the humidity was the factor on this hike. As I went up the hills with my 32L Deuter pack, I began sweating, as you can see from the photos.

However, when we were back on flat ground, I could feel the cool breeze hit my back thanks to the Cool-Dry Frame. I was able to lower my body temperature, and the moisture from the back of my shirt did disappear.

We didn't stop very much, so I was thankful that the Cool-Dry Frame allowed my body to cool down as I walked. Otherwise, my back would have been soaked, as I could see was the case for some of my fellow hikers.
