Truth be told I look forward to the dark nights and winter. Great as it means that the sun won’t shine into my tent waking me up at 4am when I’m wildcamping.

But in my opinion lightweight gear doesn't push you towards becoming more competitive. At the end of the day gear is always a means to an end. It should foster your personal fun, tranquility or whatever you are personally getting out of this activity. Lightweight gear makes it possible to walk longer or hike higher but it doesn't force you doing so. You hike your own hike and if this means hiking the same distance as before with a heavier pack but feeling much more agile at the end of the day/trip.. fine! I don't think you need to justify to anyone that you don't set new personal records all of a sudden with a shift to lightweight gear but it makes your hiking life easier and provides you with an additional feeling of safety that you will be able to walk the extra miles if unforeseeable things happen.

My comments on it are here: http://phreerunner.blogspot.com/2007/10/friday-26-october-2007-golite-quest.html Once it was properly set up it was comfy, and if you use Chris Townsend's article in May's TGO as a packing reminder, you should be fine. The first real test of mine will be on the TGO challenge in a couple of weeks.
