That could also double as hunting duds if needed..solid Kuiu pants--usually Attack pants with a long sleeve shirt, and my soft shell jacket--these are usually solid to not attract attention but serves if I get there and my stuff is not there
I use a tough pack hard case--and I usually have a soft duffle stuffed inside along with a soft gun case-- once I get there I can pack in it..

Put a very good camera into your hunting partner's pack.....that way "he" carries it up the mountain, rather than you!

On a more serious note: Many will list quality but "heavy" stuff. If you will be backpack hunting....going lightweight and being a "minimalist" is mandatory....unless, you are superhuman. As an example....there is lots of "adequate" glass that is far more practical than heavy, quality glass for a backpack hunt. JMO memtb
