Gear That Slowly Made Hiking More Annoying

Описание: Not all hiking gear fails loudly. Some of it works exactly as promised — but over time, small design choices start to add friction on trail.

In this video, I share hiking and backpacking gear that technically did its job, but slowly made long days outside more annoying than they needed to be. These aren’t bad products or beginner mistakes. They’re design tradeoffs that only reveal themselves after lots of miles, all-day hikes, and real-world use.

From backpacks without hip belt pockets to ultralight jackets with no hand pockets, waterproof hiking backpacks, hiking tights with too many zippered pockets, and strappy sports bras that cause backpack chafing — this video breaks down how convenience, access, and comfort matter more over time than specs on paper.

If you hike, backpack, or spend long days outside, this video is about choosing gear that disappears while you’re using it — and avoiding the slow, subtle annoyances you might not notice at first.

This is experience-based gear advice meant to help you think more critically about hiking gear design, usability, and long-term comfort — especially for day hikes, backpacking trips, and extended time on trail.

Topics covered:
• Hiking backpacks without hip belt pockets
• Ultralight hiking and rain jackets
• Waterproof hiking backpacks
• Hiking tights and pants pocket design
• Sports bras for hiking and backpacking
• Gear comfort over long distances
• Real-world hiking gear usability

If you’ve ever loved a piece of gear at first — then quietly stopped reaching for it — this one’s for you.
