Have you ever been hiking with a day pack of 10 to 15 pounds and wished that could be the weight of your overnight pack? It can be! The ultralight backpacking products on the following pages will help you enjoy the outdoors more because your gear will be lighter and more compact. Even if you are an experienced backpacker, you can enjoy the freedom of a backpack that is as much as 50% lighter than your current load. And you can "lighten up" with no loss in comfort or convenience. How can we do it? We can help you reduce the weight in your pack because we relentlessly search for the lightest options for each piece of gear. Look at our 3-day ultralight backpacking gear list, and you’ll see how you can carry less than 10 pounds. Do you want a full tent, a 25 degree bag, and your camera? You’ll still be carrying less than 15 pounds with this ultralight hiking gear. Light, durable, efficient We choose lightweight hiking gear on the basis of weight, quality, and efficiency. Browse through the items on the following web pages for dozens of ways to lighten your backpack. You will find that the website is educational and fun. Since over 95% of camping is "three season," our ultralight backpacking gear is intended mostly for those seasons. Avoiding the "overkill" of many winter and expedition-weight products is the first step toward a light, "fun" backpack. We have everything you need except food and footwear, and we have articles that tell you how to lighten up in those areas. All our lightweight backpacking gear list weights You can conveniently compare the products to your current hiking gear. I'm not a math wizard, but I know if you cut the weight of everything in your pack in half, you will reduce a 40 pound pack to 20 pounds. That explains our "fanatical" attention to detail on small items as well as large. The greatest weight savings can be made on your backpack, tent, sleeping bag, and clothing, but cutting weight on every piece of gear adds up. How light can your pack be? With
full gear including a two-person tent, comfortable sleeping bag,
pad, stove food, and water, you can be carrying less than 15 pounds for
a three-day trip. Even if you don't share our fanaticism for searching
for the "Only The Lightest Camping Equipment," you can still enjoy the
benefits. See which products will help give you the freedom of a
lighter pack. Every item has been handpicked. It’s all in one
place, so you don’t have to search through dozens of
catalogs. You’ll feel like you’re floating when you
compare the difference with your current load. When you use ultralight
backpacking gear you’ll have more fun. You can get back to
the
essence of
backpacking – light, carefree outdoor travel. Immediate delivery Most of the gear we offer is in stock and ready for immediate shipment. We’ll let you know if items are out of stock, and how long it will take to get them. Our guarantee If you are not satisfied, just return the item within 30 days for a full refund. If any product fails under normal conditions due to workmanship, we will repair it, replace it, or refund your money. You must be satisfied. It's as simple as that. Happy ultralight hiking, Steve Green |
